The best way to see Old Town Vienna is to ride the O-Ring Tram. The ring road is a circular grand boulevard around the historic Old Town District of Vienna, Austria.
It was the first time for us to ride a city tram. What a
wonderful way to go around the city. All the buildings in this ring are built in
a “historicist style” called the Ringstrassenstil, (Ring Road Style), a blend
of classical, Gothic, renaissance and baroque architecture that in its
combination can be called “Viennese”
Because of its architectural beauty, this road has been
dubbed, “Lord of the Ring Roads” and is designated by UNESCO as a World
Heritage Site. Definitely a sight not to miss when in Vienna.
