    I started 2021 like I finished 2020 with lots of walks and trying to make the best of having more free time than usual and exploring Vienna and also the surroundings.

  • Empty Vienna – Part II

    Empty Vienna – Part II

    Usually, these are the times of the year when there is a constant smell of mulled wine and punch over Vienna. The first Christmas markets are open and you hear a lot of Italian, Russian, English and other languages on the streets.

    While Vienna is emptier than usual in this time of the year, the Christmas lights till sparkle and bring joy.

    But as the rest of the year has been, Christmas time 2020 is different – Austria (like most of Europe or the rest of the world) is in the middle of lockdown 2 and lots of shops had to close. Vienna might not be as empty as in spring but compared to normal times there are very few people around.

    Christmas markets will open on December 7th – the earliest and we´ll still don´t know if it will happen at all. Many coffee houses offer not only coffee and cakes to take away but also mulled wine and punch. Grab a cup (or better bring your own cup) and enjoy a walk under the lights.

  • Wiener Design Pop Up

    Wiener Design Pop Up

     

    There is a new concept store in town and a really special one! The “Wiener Design Pop Up” is organized by two Viennese designers, Edita Rosenrot and Frl Else Vintage.

    Small artisan designer often sells their work on markets and events but when more or less every bigger event is cancelled they had to creative and find a solution to still be able to earn their income. After a few weeks of cruising around the 7th district looking for some empty shops, they found the perfect one on Westbahnstraße 7. Cosy but still big enough to house a whole collection of Austrian designers.

    From jewellery to upcycled lamps and fashion to gin – there is something for everyone in the shop, And in the upcoming four months the designers will change around and it would be the best idea to visit the Wiener Designer Pop Up often and check out the changing assortment.
