Syt, I'm so sorry for you, but we've chosen to come to Wien...  ;) :P

I'm looking at two apartments:
one is a serviced apartment located near the Belvedere Gardens, near the Rennweg;
the other, much cozier and nicer, is around Gumpendorferstrasse, in Mariahilfe district:
which area is best for tourist purposes?
Consider we'll travel by car, but I think once there we'll leave the car parked and we'll be using public transport (except maybe for the visit to Schonbrunn).
We'll be in Vienna four full days, give or take one more morning or afternoon.
Mandatory visits will be: Schonbrunn, St. Stephen's church, Naturhistorisches and Kunsthistorisches museums, and the Belvedere museum.
Every suggestion is welcome, obviously.

Mandatory will be a couple of beers together, too, if you will not be escaped to Berlin or Barcelona  :D :cheers:

:lol:

Either place is fine; the one in Mariahilf is close to the Marihalifer Straße (main shopping street), and will probably have easy access to both U3 and U4 lines.

When are you guys coming?

Also, do you have back room access?
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Tentative dates will be from Jan 1 to Jan 6, to be confirmed following availability of the apartments - I'm leaning towards the Mariahilf one, it's way nicer.

Yes, I have BR access.

Ok, just wanted to confirm whether or not your and someone else's visit would be at the same time which would have prompted a mini Languish meet. :)

I am arriving in Vienna on Tuesday, and leaving on Sunday.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
