The 2nd district of Vienna lies embedded between the Donau Canal and the Danube River and is relatively close to the center of the city.

Vienna is a beautiful city – that isn’t up for discussion. Beauty, however, can quickly become boring. Ugliness always remains interesting. That's why the Londoner Eugene Quinn shows the most questionable buildings of the 1st, 2. and 3. district on his walk. In addition to telling funny facts, he also wants to encourage discussions between the participants. Written by Anna Flaschberger

More often than not, locals will avoid the places tourists hang around in. The same thing can be said for all the popular shopping streets. In Vienna the best example for this is Kärntner Straße, where shopping is allegedly “ever so wonderful”. Rookie mistake, my dears! You won’t find any quaint, cool shops, but rather the big players like Zara and Co on this road. Now that Mariahilfer Straße has also become very popular among foreign tourists, you will have to switch to smaller streets, such as the one I would like to introduce you to today.

Who knew that Madrid, besides being the Spanish capital, was the cultural capital of Europe in 1992-a fun fact many of you probably weren’t aware of, although this comes as no surprise when looking at the magnificent cultural attractions this city has to offer. On top of that Madrid has a reputation for being a student’s city, as well as being a city for footballers thanks to Atlético and Real Madrid. In addition, it represents a trading and finance center for Spain. As you can see this city is so multifaceted and different making it quite hard to discover everything about it in just a few days. However I do hope that these FashionTouri-Highlights will make your stay more memorable and ensure that you can see as much as possible. Written by Tabea-Marie Widmann
