One of the must-see buildings in Vienna is the Rathaus. No, it’s not a house full of rats, but if you think of politicians as such, then it could be. ^_^ Rathaus is a German word literally translated as “council house”, meaning “city hall” or “town hall” thus, the Wiener Rathaus serves as the seat of the mayor (currently, it’s Michael Häupl) and the city council.
The building is of Gothic style designed by Friedrich von Schmidt. There’s a big garden and lawn in front of this magnificent building which serves as a public market during December, an ice skating rink in January until March (Wiener Eistraum), a concert area for enthusiasts and a lot more. The photo below was taken during the Music Festival. There’s an orchestra playing classic Strauss, Mozart and Beethoven when we arrived.
To join us, simply post a photo of a door or window and let us know where it was taken. Link up to this blog. Win 5$ too if you join this week!
