Enlighted buildings

The Eiffel Tower is celebrating its 120th birthday by putting on a light show. Thousands of small LED spotlights will make it look like a huge Christmas tree for the enjoyment of its onlookers.

This is nothing new to Vienna and the Second District! We have for a long time been able to watch and admire the Uniqa Tower, next to the Aspern Bridge, when it transforms from a beautiful steel and glass tower to a symphony of lights and colors. One evening huge snow flakes are falling down the facade while other nights the whole building looks like a giant Christmas tree or a ski slope with a skier coming down in full speed. Amazing!
