Things you might not know about Vienna

- Everyone here smokes. Well, okay, not *everyone*, just so many people as to be shocking to all other Europeans. You can smoke anywhere, including within ten feet of a "Bitte rauchen nicht" sight.

-Bratislava is very close, and a good cheap airport. Many cheap flights go to either Bratislava airport or to Vienna, but almost none go to both.

-Vienna is really, really safe. You do not have to bring someone with you to walk through the city after dark. It seems strange, but it really is that safe, and I have wandered heavily laden through the streets at night enough to know it's true.
