büro Miller

Büro Miller has been selling fine stationery items and gifts on Vienna’s Mariahilferstrasse for more than 100 years.

The leather journals, some made in Italy and some made by büro Miller, are particularly lovely. The store also stocks Zotter Chocolate bars, a delicious and exotic assortment of ...

jellyfish at the zoo

1) Seal Feeding: Feeding time makes the seals instantly hyperactive. They perform all kinds of stunts, including barking, clapping and flipping to entice the zookeeper to throw them some fish. Much splashing takes place, especially when the largest male seal takes flight. Be prepared to get wet unless you keep your distance.

2) The Timberwolves: To get to the timberwolves, visitors follow a dirt ...

Votivkirche

A Catholic mass in English takes place every Sunday at 11 am in Vienna’s Votivkirche. The service usually lasts about 1 hour and visitors are made to feel very welcome. The priest there, Father Kevin, likes to introduce himself to new people before each mass and help them meet other people in the church community.

In addition to celebrating the Eucharist, attending a mass in the Votivkirche ...

Lebensbaumkreis

The Living Tree Circle (“Lebensbaumkreis” in German) is definitely off the beaten path. As the name implies, the Living Tree Circle is an actual circle of live trees corresponding to different times of the year. Visitors can locate the trees that correspond to their birthdays and read and hear German descriptions of personality traits attributed to those birthday trees. Classical music can be heard on the ...

Manner store at Stephansplatz

1) Mozart Würfel (Mozart Cubes) – Fine marzipan and chocolate-hazelnut nougat are covered in a layer of thick dark chocolate to form these mouth-watering cubes. I recommend these over the Manner Mozart Kugel because they have a thicker chocolate layer.
2) Karamellen (Caramels) – Delicious in their simplicity, these caramel squares come wrapped in vintage-style packaging bearing an image of Stephansdom.
3) Knoepfe (Buttons) – ...
