Until March 8th there is a special attraction in Vienna: next to the Vienna Ice World at Rathausplatz is a mobile observation tower, the City Skyliner. At a height of 70 meters a glass observation capsule (looking like an UFO) rotates around 360 degrees and provides the most amazing view on the Vienna Ringstraße and huge parts of the city! It is really breathtaking and I almost completely forgot about my fear of hights!
While being at University Kutschkermarkt in the 18th district kind of became “my hood” – the department of my studies was situated there and I knew the market from walking up in the morning (ok, it was communication sciences – I rarely had lectures in the morning) und walking down to the Bim on my way home. But back then I didn´t pay much attention in the market and as far as I remember it wasn´t very interesting – we preferred to spend our free time at the one and only “Café Schopenhauer” or get something to eat at the small supermarket.
Last week I passed Kutschkermarket for the first time since graduation and was astonished on how hip the area has become! It´s an organic market now, there is an huge selection of legumes, fruits and other really nice other foodie stuff.
