- An amazing network (spider web) of trams and Metro that enable one to get around as long as you have a map of the routes (obtained on day one)
- Much architecture, buildings and monuments from the history starting with the Holy Roman Empire, the Ottomans, the Hapsburgs (Austria-Hungarian empire), the Nazis during WWII, and the Communists to the present.
- Many public buildings that have been renovated.
- Tourist attractions for all interests and age groups.
- Restauraunts catering to all nationalities.
- Plenty of classical music to be found.
- Hearing Dvorak’s New World Symphony was special.
- Karistejn Castle - a 45 min train journey out of town.
- A comfortable AirBnB with excellent high speed internet (for posting Blog photos).
- Time to learn past and present history.
- Very worthwhile to hire a private guide on day one to get orientated and find out how to get around.
- Fun to experience a completely different culture (and cultures) compared with the life back home in Victoria B.C.
