Yesterday, Saturday April 25th, I went to see the statue of Johannes Brahms in Resselpark, which is located just outside the Ringstrasse (celebrating its 150th anniversary this year).

Statue of Johannes Brahms in the Resselpark

While Brahms lived in numerous apartments during his decades in Vienna only one of them remains. And it is has been repurposed years ago so it  is not available for touring. The picture below shows the exterior:

Afterwards, I walked part of the Ringstrasse then prepared for the Vienna Philharmonik Concert at 3:30 at the Wiener Musikverein, generally considered one of the very best concert halls in the world acoustically - also, very beautiful.

After the concert I decided to return to my apartment by walking along the banks of the Danube River. While it isn't the clear blue you expect form the Blue Danube waltz by Strauss, it is an impressive river that clearly is a hub of activity in the city.  The water was flowing quite rapidly, as one would expect at this time of year since this is peak snow melt time in the Alps. Below are some pictures:

Danube runs right through the middle of the city.
