FROM PALACES TO
COFFEE HOUSES:
ALONG WEEKEND N
Vienna
by Vera Vegh

Vienna is a splendid city and can offer

even more than you would think. Just a
few hours' drive or a train ticket away from
Budapest, the Austrian capital is the perfect
place to relax and recharge during a long
weekend. Regardless of how many times
you've been to Vienna before, there's a
seemingly never-ending string of things to
do and see throughout the year. Besides
being one of the richest cities in the world
culturally and musically, Vienna also offers
numerous cafes, bars and restaurants,
tranquil parks and buzzing shops and
markets. If you visit in the spring months,
the milder temperatures allow to be
outdoors, while from mid-May to late June,
there are also many outdoor festivals and
parties to visit.
SCHON BRUN N
Schonbrunn Palace with its surrounding buildings
and the huge park is one of the most significant
cultural monuments in Austria. The former imperial
summer residence is a Baroque palace with a history
spanning over 300 years. The name Schonbrunn
means beautiful spring and the palace was named
for an artesian well from which water was consumed
by the court. The name was first mentioned in 1642,
when a palace was added to the already existing
mansion by the wife of Ferdinand II. Emperor Franz
Joseph, who was born in the palace in 1830, spent
the last years of his life in Schonbrunn. In 1918, the
palace became the property of the new republic
and later became an UNESCO world heritage site.
If you visit Schonbrunn, you don't out on the tour of
the residence. The grandiose apartments of Maria
Theresia and the parlours and apartments of Sisi are
definitely worth a visit. The residence has 1441 rooms
altogether, and visitors can have a glimpse on 40.

UTAZAS
The Tirolian garden is an alpine patch with an original
hut, an orchard and a pasture farm . The palace also
features a greenhouse with three different climate
zones and plants from all continents.
Schonbrunn Zoo is the world 's oldest and only Baroque
zoo, situated in the south -eastern part of the palace.
Built in 1760, the zoo maintains a special emphasis
on its heritage, but also keeps the animals in a modern
and caring environment.
KUNSTHISTORISCHES MUSEUM
The Museum of Fine Arts is the largest art museum in
the country. It was opened in 1891 by Emperor Franz
Joseph, the same time as the Natural History Museum,
also on the Ringstrasse. The museum first housed
the formidable art collection of the royal family and
made it accessible to the general public. Many major
works, such as Raphael's "Madonna in the Meadow,"
Vermeer's "The Allegory of Painting," the lnfanta
paintings by Velazquez, masterworks by Rubens,
Rembrandt, Di.irer, Titian and Tintoretto can be visited
in the paintings gallery.
BELVEDERE
As many other buildings of Vienna, the Belvedere
complex reflects the imperial history of the city. The
buildings were completed in 1723 - at this time the
two palaces were located outside of Vienna, but today

HUN DERTWASSERHOUSE
In the Landstrasse district, on the corner of Kegelgasse
and Lowengasse, there is colo~rful apartm~nt
building designed by Austrian artist and architect,
Friedensreich Hundertwasser and co-creator architect
Josef Krawina. The idea behind the design was to
find a way to get closer to nature, avoiding straight
lines and the overall plain look of a boring apartment
complex. Hundertwasser w_as definitely suc~essful in
his quest to create something out of the ordinary. Since
he rejected the functionalism of modern architecture,
the building has many features that are almost fairytale-
like, such as the gilded onion dome and the decorated
stucco figures. If you are interested in more creations
by the designer, there are a couple of other buildings in
Vienna that received the Hundertwasser treatment.
PRATER
In the large public park in Vienna's 2nd district is the
Wurstelprater amusement park, often simply called
"Prater" . The area was a royal hunting ground till in
1766 it was opened to the public. The amusement
park is full of roller coasters, ghost trains, bumper
cars and all sorts of attractions to satisfy young and
old. The best-known attraction is probably the Wiener
Riesenrad , a Ferris wheel offering superb views
of the city. Besides the rides, the park has various
famous traditional Viennese restaurants (such as the

more specific than that. To have a black coffee guests
would need to order a Mocca, otherwise known as
a Schwarzer, while for a cappuccino-like option the
Melange , a Viennese classic, would be the closest
choice. Menus usually include the Eispanner, served in
a glass with whipped cream, the Maria Theresa with
orange liqueur and whipped cream, or the Turkische
which comes in a copper pot with coffee grounds
and sugar. The long list of coffees features flavoured
liqueurs, chocolate and ice cream. Traditionally, each
cup is served on a silver tray and accompanied by a
glass of cold water.
There are not only traditional coffee houses in Vienna,
of course. You can find all kinds of cafes in the Austrian
capital - even the well-known franchises. But when in
Vienna ... why not try a traditional coffee house?

VIENNESE CUISINE
The most well-known dish is probably the Wiener
Schnitzel, the breaded and fried escalope. Another
classic is the Tafelspitz, a boiled beef specialty,
and bread dumplings with roast pork is a favourite
too. Viennese (or Austrian) cuisine is also famous
for its fantastic, rich pastries and desserts. Strudel
pastry filled with apples, Kaiserschmarrn (shredded
pancakes served with fruit compotes), and Sachertorte
(cake of two layers of chocolate cake with apricot
jam in the middle) are some of the most famous and
CAFE CULTURE delicious examples.

Since 2011, the traditional Viennese coffee house
culture has belonged to the intangible cultural heritage
of UNESCO. Within this inventory, the coffee house
is described as a place "where time and space are
consumed, but only the coffee is found on the bill".
As you can see from our list, a long weekend in Vienna
is quite easy to fill with things to do, marvel at, eat and
drink. Just pack your suitcase and don't forget: if you
are getting tired, there is always a cafe just around the
corner to relax with a cup of nice coffee.

Cates are an everyday part of city living in Vienna,

especially in the heart of the city. And it has been so
for quite a long time - in the last three centuries, a
visit to a cafe in Vienna was a spectacular and, at the
same time, everyday experience for the people living
there. The Viennese have developed a whole culture
around coffee drinking and the Kaffeehouse has
become an institution.
Requesting a cup of coffee seems like an easy enough
task, but in a Viennese coffee house you need to be

Juan Moreno y Herrera-Jimenez, known to the world
as Jean Reno was born July 30, 1948 in Casablanca,
Morocco. His parents were Spanish citizens who
moved to Morocco to escape the Franco dictatorship
in Spain. His father was a typographer, his mother
died when he was a teenager. Jean Reno has one
younger sister. At the age of seventeen, the actor-to-be
moved to France to study acting.
After starting to work in France, he changed his first
name to Jean and shortened his surname to Reno.
The actor has taken part in many collaborations with
director, producer, and writer Luc Besson. Their
films, such as Nikita (1990), The Big Blue (1988) and
Leon: The Professional (1994) brought critical and
commercial success.
The Big Blue is an English-language film directed by
Besson about the fictionalized friendship and rivalry
between two real-life champion free divers, Jacques
{Jean-Marc Barr) and Enzo (Jean Reno). The movie
became a cult classic and has been one of France's
most commercially successful films.
Nikita, the Franco-Italian action thriller is about a teen
girl who after robbing a pharmacy and murdering a
policeman is sentenced to life in prison. She is given
the choice of becoming a trained assassin or be
killed - and she chooses to become a killer. Jean Reno
plays the role of Victor "The Cleaner" who salvages an
operation gone awry and destroys the evidence.
Leon: The Professional is a thriller starring Jean Reno,
Gary Oldman and a young Natalie Portman. Leon
(Reno), a professional hitman, reluctantly takes in
12-year-old Mathilda {Portman) after her family is
murdered by a corrupt drug agent (Oldman). Mathilda
becomes an unlikely apprentice learning the secrets of
the hitman trade.
In the middle of the nineties, Reno started to star in high-
profile American movies, such as French Kiss (1995), a

romantic comedy featuring Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline.
He landed roles in Mission: Impossible (1996) opposite
Tom Cruise and in Godzilla (1998) as well - although he
turned down a role that could have been an iconic one
for him: that of Agent Smith in The Matrix.
Reno stayed loyal to French filmmaking too, he starred
in The Crimson Rivers (2000), a psychological horror
opposite Vincent Cassel. The film was directed by
Mathieu Kassovitz. The Crimson Rivers is abo~t two
detectives investigating a series of murders in an
isolated university campus in the French Alps. The
immensely successful film was followed by a sequel
in 2004. In 2006, Jean Reno had a role in The Pink
Panther and in The Da Vinci Code.
Among fan favourites, we can find the Les Visiteurs
films too, a successful and highly popular comedy-
fantasy film series. Its first installment was released
in 1993, the second in 1998, while the third is coming
this year. In the first film, a medieval nobleman and his
squire are accidentally transported to contemporary
times by a sorcerer. He turns to his descendant to
help him find the way home, all the while trying to
cope with the cultural and technological changes
distinguishing his time from ours. The third installment
is coming to cinemas in April.
Reno has two children (Sandra and Mickael) with his
first wife, and another two with his second wife {Tom
and Serena). In 2006, Reno married for the third time,
to Polish model and actress, Zofia Borucka. Nicolas
Sarkozy served as his best man at the wedding. The
couple has two sons, Cielo and Dean.
"The best way to impress a woman is to be the most
honest you can," he said in an interview. Maybe
honesty is the secret behind his steady and versatile
career too.

Dear Mom who sent your kid to school without socks today:
Thank you.

My morning started with counting ahead two hours to figure out what
time everyone's bus had been rescheduled for after the previous
day's snowstorm. As I was packing snacks, my 9-year-old started
to scream at an ungodly pitch because it suddenly occurred to him
he'd forgotten a homework assignment. "I don't want to go to school.
I hate school." The meltdown continued for more than half an hour.
In between trying to figure out what was bothering him , offering
comfort, and wanting to sell him, I constantly reminded my teenager
to move it so he wouldn't miss his bus. Brotherly love was in short
supply. "He just hit me." "He hit me first." "Stop crying. Nobody
wants to go to school." I added to the noise "Don't hit your brother.
Stop whining. Don't be mean . Move it. I can't drive you if you miss
your bus."
I felt on top of my game, and expected my Mother of the Year award
to come any minute. Then I noticed my daughter decided to protest
the snow by dressing for school in a bathing suit. She was very
proud of this. I looked at her and realized that since I still had an hour
before her bus came, I could put this situation on the back burner
and go back to the battle of the boys. In the midst of the chaos, my
teen realized he couldn't find his phone. Now the world was really
coming to an end. How could a teen go to school without his iPhone?
Climate change, economic inequality, and the threat of terrorism pale
in comparison. More crying. More fighting. More yelling.

I handled th~ situation perfectly by screaming that if he didn't leave

immediately, it wouldn't matter where his phone was because I'd
cancel it and never let him have another one for all eternity. He left
singing my praises and feeling the warmth of my love. Well, at least
he was off to school. One down, two to go.

I still had an unhappy 9-year-old, but he resigned himself to his fate

When his bus pulled up. The doors opened, and I saw your daughter.
She smiled at me. Her hair was in braids. She was wearing her coat
and matching hat, and looked adorable, just like every day. Then I

Whatever the reason, at that minute, I felt a little less alone.
