Vienna Things To Do
Vienna: Walk the Vienna Woods, see Vienna from KOBENZL Walk the Vienna Woods, see Vienna from KOBENZL by WStat
Cobenzl Hill , alt. 377 m, hill with a panoramic view situated on the edge of the northern Vienna Woods, in the 19th district of Vienna; owes its name to J. P. Cobenzl, who built a palace at the end of the 18th century, surrounded by a large nature park. It was here that K. Reichenbach later invented creosote and paraffin. In 1907 the municipality purchased the palace, which had been converted into a hotel (destroyed during World War II), as... [read more]
New Zealand Hotels and Accommodations
New Zealand: Coastal Hideaway Coastal Hideaway by norcadiver
We stayed at Woodside Cottage for two nights of a three week trip around New Zealand. It was one of, if not the, favorite stay during our trip.

The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings

The great thing about travel may be seeing the world through a different lens, but that doesn't mean the view is always pretty. With this in mind, the travel experts at VirtualTourist.com have come up with a list of "The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings and Monuments." General manager, Giampiero Ambrosi talks about the selections: "Some of these picks have all the charm of a bag of nails while others are just jaw-dropping in their complexity. Love them or hate them, the list is certainly entertaining."



We LOVE hearing from VirtualTourist members and visitors alike. We frequently get notes just letting us know that you're out there and you're enjoying VT. Very often we'll forward the mail around to the rest of the team, to share the love. Drop us a note, we'd love to hear from you.

You can see more community news items from previous days in the Community News Archives Drop us a note at feedback@virtualtourist.com if you'd like your item to be considered.
