Why You Should Never Visit Vienna

1. The entire city is just super ugly. There, said it.

2. It's not like it's the only European capital with significant vineyards and wine production.

The highlight of this horrible point is the Vienna Wine Hiking Day, which takes place every year in late September/early October.

3. Heuriger? Sounds unpleasant!

10. Such a poor cultural scene.

You'll find nothing interesting to learn...
