One of the great things about the city centre is that much of it was built around the same time in the mid-19th century at the height of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and so there is a unity in the building style, especially around the Imperial palaces and the Ringstraße.
I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
