Munich, Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Trieste, Krakow, even Innsbruck, Bratislava -
I have traveled all over Europe, just about everywhere, and my favorite cities are consistently in the old Habsburg Realm.
I don't know why but that's what they all have in common.
- hellrich 1y agoMunich/Bavaria were not ruled by the Habsburgs, unless you want to count the whole Holy Roman Empire.
- CGMthrowaway 1y agoYeah good point. Now I need to find a different commonality
- jackcosgrove 1y agoI think "Habsburg" is a good enough descriptor. It encompasses the Catholic, northern-influenced culture (if not actually in the north like Trieste) as well as the baroque, counter Reformation-derived artistic styles.
- lostlogin 1y agoThey had a couple of notable 20th century leaders.
- mistrial9 1y agosee the movie The Sound of Music
- CGMthrowaway 1y agoLOL good point but I don't think that's it, although maybe whatever reason why I like these places is part of the reason Nazis wanted them :)
- lostlogin 1y agoI think Stalin ruled them all briefly too. I have been to Vienna, and it’s an amazing city, despite some of its awful rulers.
- anyfoo 1y agoAs someone from Munich, I often joke that if I fell unconscious and woke up in Vienna, it would take me a rather long time to figure out that I’m not in Munich.
- neuronic 1y agoIf in doubt just try to open Immoscout and rent an apartment.
- ta12653421 1y agoBecause their history matches your attitude, maybe? :-D
