I had some guide explain about private life of Ludwig van Beethoven and took photo of some statues. The guide (Sergio) and me were talking in close distance. Hope that the guide was more conscious of COVID prevention.

En Viena con Beethoven

Rene_O, Sep 2022

Un tour maravilloso, de altísimo nivel, con una guía extraordinaria. Conocimos la esencia de aquello que esconde la ciudad a los paseantes distraidos, lo que hace que Viena sea la capital de la música, sus rincones e historias, donde Beethoven vivió y compuso su obra monumental.
