  • Ampelpärchen

    I always envied Berlin for its cute “Ampelmännchen”, the cute little guy in the pedestrian traffic lights in former East Germany. But since yesterday Viennas traffic lights have something almost better: cute little traffic light couples deeply in love! Aren´t those lovebirds the cutest? Even the stern looking Dürer bunny next to the Opera seems to approve!

  • Campo de’ Fiori

    “Field of Flowers” – what a picturesque name for a square. It remains from the Middle Ages when this place in Rome was still a meadow. In 1869 the daily vegetable and fish market moved from Piazza Navona to Campo de´Fiori.

    The ancient fountain (“La Terrina” – the soupbowl)  was once used to water the cattle and now keeps the flowers fresh – have a look at the inspription saying “Fa del ben e lassa dire” (do good and let them talk), isn´t that perfect for such a gossip heaven, like a market?!

    The square is surrounded by lots and lots of cafés, have some breakfast or just caffé and watch the happenings in front of you! And Campo de´Fiori is a great place to get some little gifts to take home like spices or my favourite: all the different sundried tomatoes, such a huge variety to choose from!
