Don't let people in Vienna hear you call them eastern Europe.

Hey Chewy, if you read this... Beautiful shot Where exactly this is in Vienna? I'm headed to EU tomorrow & will possibly visit Vienna. Looks like a sweet spot. Shame about the Starbucks in the shot, though. Looks like they've crept into every corner of the globe. At least it's not the golden arches

Thanks

If I may, this is from the link he posted: Kärntner Straße (German for Carinthia street) is the most famous shopping street in central Vienna . It runs from the Stephansplatz out to the Wiener Staatsoper at Karlsplatz on the Ringstraße. The first record of Kärntner Straße is from 1257, as Strata Carintianorum, which refers to its importance as a trade route to the southern province of Carinthia.

One of my favorite places. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Love the place. The city centre is watches paradise. One AD next to the other and next to the other, and when youre tired you will keep seeing Patek, AP, Rolex, you name it. If you need hotel there Jake, this time in jan I decided to stay at AM Stephansplatz and could not be happier. It's next to the building on the pic, in front of St. Stephen's Cathedral so you wont find a better location. The room with view is awesome (pic). Just a tip, buddy. Have a great trip. Cheers.

That is an amazing photo. I just wish there wasn't all of those other signs protruding from the side of the building.
