25T82 Vienna: colour splash in the Sünnhof

By on

E81, V29.

The sun showed up at the right time, as I entered the 150-metre long passageway through the Sünnhof building in Vienna’s 3rd district. Truth is, at the right time of day, the illumination of the umbrellas suspended over the passageway is sure to light up everyone’s face, regardless of age. I’m confident Mary Poppins would have felt at home.

There’s no admission charge, but people are more than welcome to sit outside with a drink from any of the cafes or restaurants lining the passage.

The Sünnhof is just one example of a Vienna architectural staple: “Durchhaus”, a building through which a path is constructed to allow passage from one side of the building to the other. There are many “Durchhaus” examples in the city, especially in the 1st district.
