Our tour of this beautiful city was both on foot and by bus.  Enjoy the photos.

We visited the Simon Wiesenthal Archive, known formally as The  Documentation Center of the Association of Jewish Victims of the Nazi Regime.  Mr. Wiesenthal has been called “The Nazi Hunter” because of his work tracking down information on Nazis, some of which led to prosecution.

More photos throughout the city:

Built by Prince Eugene of Savoy, Belvedere Palace consists of Lower Belvedere, completed in 1717, and Upper Belvedere, completed in 1723.  It is Upper Belvedere that now houses the magnificent paintings of Austrian artists including Gustav Klimt and other European masters.  The highlight is Klimt’s The Kiss on which Klimt used gold leaf over oil paint for a fantastic visual effect.  Photography is not allowed in the museum  so my pics showcase the lovely building and grounds.
