Hello dear Hivers!

In the index they issued, 173 countries were considered in the study and Vienna topped them all and for many years now. The city is nicknamed "the city of dreams''. According to CNN, here is why:

My Wednesday Walk ...June 21, 2023

Due to an unforeseen cancellation of my doctor's appointment, I decided not to go home. Instead, I walked in the city and went around the center and its surrounding streets. As usual, the city is jam-packed with tourists. The heat was still bearable before noon and the tourists were all busy clicking their cameras to capture the beauty of Vienna´s architecture and famous places.

It was lovely to see people who managed to come to the city and see them enjoy the atmosphere Vienna has to offer. One can go round the vicinity of the Ringstrasse to see important old buildings and I am sure they were excited and enjoyed what they were seeing. The cafes and ice cream parlors along the plaza are the best places to unwind when one is tired after a walk.

The horse carriages were all busy touring the visitors to places and they seemed to like the idea of being brought to historical areas and being explained what the area is all about.

Some of the tourists came in buses and in groups. I noticed them holding on to their maps and guides to understand the places they were about to see.

It's been a hot but nice day for this walk and I began to feel the heat and decided to go to the underground station where it's always cool, towards the direction of my home. It made me smile that at least I have walked around in the city again as a consolation of a failed doctor's appointment.

Thanks to you all for reading my blog. I hope to see you again in my next post. In the meantime, enjoy your day and be happy! Hope you are able to visit this wonderful city!
