Is Vienna Worth Visiting ?
By Mike Knudsen

I have an opportunity (excuse?) to visit Vienna, Austria
late this summer for a family wedding, and am trying to make up my
mind whether the trip would be worth the time and money.
From the viewpoint of mechanical music (and music in general, organs,
architecture, history, and Germanic culture), how would members of
this List rate a week in Wien?

From the WEB sites I know there is a music museum and a clock
museum with a few Flotenuhren (barrel organs set off by a clock),
but anything else of specialized interest?  I love old cities and
Baroque architecture but after the first three palaces I might get
tired.  Maybe a side trip (several hours' train ride) to Salzburg?

All opinions gratefully received -- thanks, Mike Knudsen
