Entries about tips and tricks

Neither citisen nor tourist, I am living in Vienna few months a year.
It would be nice to speak German, but meantime I survive nicely with my English (shame!). Each time I return from Austria with few new words and impressions in German and probably one day I will speak, with no doing massive effort of lang. studies.
Here, below, few tips for others and few notes for myself - it's never enough time to do everything that planned, so I would drop the list of wishes for the next year(s).

For you:
I don't care about palaces, baroque, Mozart and S. Stefan Cathedral - you can't miss it.
DONT MISS:

• Pre-Christmas time in Vienna.
• Inner Yards of inner districts.
• Medeveal Vienna and my favorite church Maria am Gestade.
• Stories of people, who made Vienna so Viennese: Freud, Klimt, Schiele, Loos, Wagner (architect), Moser, Maria Theresia and Habsburg Dynasty, Princess Sissi, Musicians: Mahler, Schubert, Strauss and Haydn; etc. List is too long... sorry
• Whole Art Nouveau (= Jugendstil) treasure: not only style of art, but philosophy.
• Hundertwasser!
• Heurigen - taverns serving fresh-made local wine

For me:

• To discover sturm (see the link) issue much deeper!
• Prater Museum, 2., Address: Oswald Thomas Platz 1. Opened Fr-Su and holidays 10.00-13.00 and 14:00-18:00. 1st Sunday in the month: free admission.
• Friday Night Skating (rollerblades) - http://wien.gruene.at/skater
