T35 Vienna, 3rd year run

E34 V1

Travel day 35 (*) requires another long day of a rail trip from Bamberg to Vienna, via Nürnberg, that goes halfway across Germany and a good length across Austria. Not only will this be a 3rd consecutive visit to Vienna in 3 years, but also a 3rd consecutive 1-month stay: 2022 in the city’s 6th district (Mariahilf), last year in the 2nd district (Leopoldstadt), and this year I return to the 6th. In reacquainting myself with the ‘hood, the following are direct reminders of what I’d discovered 2 years ago, and that it’s great to be back in “the 6.” again.

(*) Europe day 34, Vienna day 1.

The diversity of Vienna’s Ampelpärchen (traffic-light couples) began with the city as hosts of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015. Finding overwhelming popularity, the lights stayed on as permanent fixtures throughout the city after the festival.
