Vienna is commonly divided into twenty-three numbered administrative units, one of them being the rather posh 9th district, situated north of the old town. Living in Vienna, I am seldomly visiting this part of the city, so in the fall I use a sunny and quiet Monday afternoon to have a walk in the streets and parks of this charming neighborhood.
Lucerne is situated in the central part of Switzerland. The location of the city is magnificent, not only is there a large lake in front, but also a “private” mountain called Pilatus. The city itself is beautiful too, with historic city walls and an old wooden bridge across the river Reuss. The pictures were shot in late summer / early autumn of 2021.
The natural beauty of Switzerland is vast and seemingly never-ending. The Alps, in particular, offer stunning views and a variety of different plants and environments. When the sun is shining, and the skies are clear, the colors are vibrant, and nature seems to be incredibly alive.
Lake Geneva is a water body situated at the border of Switzerland with France. It has a surface area of 580.03 km2 and is surrounded by major cities, such as Geneve, Lausanne, and Montreux. The pictures below were shot in Montreux, Switzerland.
Looking closer, there are many details to discover in the city of Bern. Notably, the medieval structures, such as the civic hall and the cathedral, offer many exciting perspectives. Additionally, there are some attractive fountains and historic sculptures scattered all across the old town of Bern.
There are only two countries without a capital, Switzerland being one of them. Unofficially, though, the city of Bern, situated in the heart of the Alpine country, is considered the nation’s political center. Located on a peninsula that is engulfed by the Aare River, the old town of Bern is vast and beautiful. Particularly striking are the characteristic rooftops and pergolas.
