Lagging a lot on a i7 Macbook Pro Retina with 16 Gbs of RAM in Chrome. It is a bit better in Safari, but still not smooth.

that's probably due to a few big graphics on the website. does anyone have suggestions how to handle that (except using less graphic intensive graphics) ??

Public Transport was just a city map for me?

Vienna is a very nice city to live in. Yet, it is not exactly a technology hub, so probably not a destination of preference for the HN crowd.

what do you mean with couldn't even read the text content properly? did you try to read it while scrolling?

i've visited vienna twice now. once in november, once in june. vienna is a vibrant, gorgeous and exciting city. the arts, culture, everything is fantastic, and the people are friendly and charming. one of my favorite museums - the belvedere - is there, and the gardens near that are also gorgeous.

i can't wait to go back to visit. i would say go in the summer, the winter (at least the week i was there) was dreary. i also love the cold war history of vienna, so that was exciting.

thanks for sharing.

Nice city, but with 114% of the population being smokers...

I love Europe, but for being so developed, it's amazing how many places there people still think smoking is 'cool,' and 'a symbol of freedom.'

I do like Vienna, but I think I'd choose Hamburg if I had to choose a city in the German-speaking world. Or Berlin - only slightly less cosmopolitan, but the tech start-up scene is kind of happening, and the cost of living is cheaper.
