Description

Wandering through the maze of ancient cobblestone streets of Vienna Old Town, surrounded by the most ornate and historical architecture, the quaintest facades and pastel coloured window frames, this charming ivy draped corner is so inviting. Take a few steps into the narrow little street ahead and you know that beyond the stone entry just visible on the right, there will be delicious, spicy mulled wine to warm you, perhaps a glowing log fire and pleasant company. You really do have to go in and discover for yourself.... "Griechenbeisl" is one of Vienna's oldest establishments. The sign above the door declares 'since 1447' and the first historical record of the house dates back to 1350, the building itself having had many uses prior to its current one. There have been numerous renowned patrons over the years including some of the World's most well known composers such as Beethoven, Wagner, Strauss and Brahms. Even Mark Twain has ventured through those doors to enjoy traditional Viennese cuisine at its best. I hand blended a little texture with my original photograph to compliment the old world feel of this classic Vienna street scene.
