Griechenbeiselby *ArtOfTheMystic

Photography / Architecture / Exterior

Griechenbeisel Restaurant is one of the oldest restaurants in Vienna. Situated next to the Greek Orthodox Church in the Griechengasse/Fleischmarkt.

Griechengasse

The construction of this narrow street in the 1100s was representative of the almost desperate need for expansion away from the city's earlier perimeter, which more or less followed the ancient configuration of the Roman settlement of Vindobona. Griechengasse's name comes from the 18th-century influx of Greek merchants, precursor of the waves of immigrants flooding into modern Vienna from eastern Europe and the Middle East today.

Fleischmarkt

The walls of a Greek Orthodox church rise adjacent to the Griechenbeisl. It was embellished in 1858 by Theophil Hansen, the Danish-born architect of many of the grand buildings of the Ringstrasse.

A tip of the hat to my greek friend Tassos

Absolutely gorgeous photo, the colors are so vibrant. This place looks so inviting, you capture it quite well. Makes me want to wander back there and order a beer to start, then stumble, much later in the night, drunk and full of great food, up into that secretive alley to explore and dream...

that alley is a small lane that leads to what is locally known as "The Bermuda Triangle", a place of nightclubs and outdoor frolic..... party on!!!!
Cheers

Travel? Don't put it off too long - I regret the lost times where I thought I needed to stick my nose to the grindstone, stay home and work - for what? These memories are priceless and stay with you for a lifetime!
Thanks for dropping in
Cheers
Otto

beautiful picture ! Vienna.. i want to see it too once!

*ArtOfTheMystic Aug 16, 2008 Professional Traditional Artist

You are not that far away (well yeah, maybe too far for a bike ride, that will only get you to Holland, lol)..... I may be biased here since this is my city, but I feel it has all that you would want within easy reach; a jewel in the European diadem of cities (walk the downtown, get a public transport tourist pass for unlimited fares to reach other sights - plan on at least 3 days, it's worth it!)......
Cheers and thanks for visiting

But Vienna is one of the things i want to see.
Thanks Otto!
