(A) INNER CITY Home
Our home is located in the 7th district (inner city) of Vienna, its a small district and directly borders the inner district, called first district, which is the historical center of Vienna.
It takes only a 15 minutes walk from our home to the historic city center of Vienna. 1 minute walk to the next grocery, 5 minutes walk to shopping street, 10 minutes walk to the famous main shopping street Mariahilfer Strasse.
Public transport, bus and tramway, are each a 3 minutes walk, subway is a 6 minutes walk.
In Vienna public bicycles are available free of charge (for usage up to 1 hour), the next self-service rental station for such bicycles is only a 3 minutes walk away.
Take a 15 minutes walk to reach University of Vienna (Schottentor) or Technical University of Vienna (Karlsplatz). Go for 5 minutes from home to visit little cafes or craftworks in the Bohemian side of town (Spittelberg)
For the last several years Vienna has been rated number one of cities worldwide in the "Quality of Living Ranking" by Mercer ( http://www.mercer.com ) or United Nations ( http://www.unhabitat.org ) , and ranked fifth in "Personal Safety" worldwide. Vienna has a lot to offer: see e.g. http://www.wien.gv.at for more details.
(B) WEEKEND HOME in the Mountains
This rented house is a small and lovely cottage located in the mountains close to the village Rohr im Gebirge, Niederösterreich, Austria. It's a 1h and 15 minutes drive by car from our home to the weekend home in the mountains. Just step out of the house and you are in the woods, when you sleep with windows open you hear the sound of nature like birds and the very near creek.
It's a 20 minutes walk to the village where you find a grocery and a nice inn serving good food.
About 4 minutes drive away you'll find a small skiing resort running two ski-lifts in winter time.
You will also like this home as a perfect starting point for hiking in summer. Visit one of the farmers for organic food (meat, honey, cheese, bread etc.). Infos in German language: http://www.rohrimgebirge.at(A) INNER CITY Home
