Ringstrasse

Following the ring road, the Ringstrasse, around the centre of Vienna is a long series of grand monumental buildings. Three miles of them in fact. It's described as the grandest boulevard in the world. It doesn't fail to impress. Except, that is, for the parliament building that I was hoping to see but was surrounded by building works. What a shame. By now our feet are angry this half day in Vienna wasn't more relaxed.
