Yellow Ring Tram of Vienna
The first district of Vienna is surrounded by a circle street called ‘The Ring’. Taking the yellow ‘Ring Tram’ is like taking a guided tour. The installed audio system explains in eight languages the buildings along the Ring. E.g. the Parliament Building, the Vienna State Opera and the Hofburg.
Update: The Ring Tram stopped their service with the beginning of the corona pandemic.

Red box for finds in Vienna
Interesting! If one finds anything (not that valuable) in the streets of Vienna one doesn’t have to go to the lost property office. One can drop it in one of these red boxes I came across here. Are there such boxes in your area too?
