2, 3 Days in Town

How much can we learn about a European city and enjoy it in only two or three days? Probably a lot if you like racing around from one monument to the other and decide for little or no sleep at all. But what about going behind the postcard image of a city, walking away from some monuments in order to have a peep into the side alleys? and to get tips about less known but yet very typical parts of the town? This series will embark you on a trip to explore secret and apparently ordinary streets, bars, public places that yet make the specific atmosphere of each town. You will see, meet, try new experiences – unknown, little known sometimes quite odd for your personal standard. From the hospital for dolls in Lisbon, through Budapest day and night buzz, to the international diplomatic hub in Brussels, the series will make you travel, and understand how these cities have been changing and thriving. The streets of European cities will at last reveal their charm.

Vienna

Anyone who wants to understand Central Europe must spend two or three days in Vienna to retrace the historical thread and assimilate its origins. Capital of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Vienna is a paradise for lovers of ancient stones. From Schonbrunn Palace, the imperial family's summer residence since the end of the 17th century, to the city's historic center listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, Vienna naturally lends itself to the game of time travel. The Austrian capital, which frequently tops the international ranking tables of the best cities in the world to live in, took advantage of its location on the Danube, transforming one of its branches into a leisure area. And for those who want to add a bucolic break to their urban stay, certain neighborhoods in Vienna, accessible by public transport, are more like a village in the countryside than a neighborhood in a European capital.
