Oh Vienna! a Kid’s Guide to Vienna

What you need to know before your trail

Vienna is known as the city of music because of its musical roots, and it is also known as the city of dreams because it was home to the world’s first psycho-analyst, Sigmund Freud. The roots of the city lie in early Celtic and Roman settlements that created a Medieval, Baroque city. Photographer John D. Weigand and award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan visited Vienna just before Christmas and saw many things that would delight a child. Dyan believes the key to traveling well with a child, especially a young one, is to not put them into overload. “If you do that,” Dyan says, “then all you will end up with are complaints of tummy aches and hurting feet.”
