Gold, bolts, onyx
The two pavilions on Karlsplatz were built in 1898–99 by Otto Wagner as entrances to the city railway: green iron, marble panels and gold sunflowers. When the U-Bahn was dug beneath them they were taken down, and in 1977 they were put back, about one and a half metres higher.
Wagner's Postal Savings Bank, begun in 1904, is faced with thin plates of marble, held by rows of bolts with aluminium heads.
Off Kärntner Strasse, Adolf Loos fitted out a bar of about 27 square metres in 1908. Onyx above the door glows the colour of honey, and mirrors on the walls make the room look larger.

Notes for the trip — Vienna in November
- Weather
- Vienna in November averages 9.5°C by day and 5.0°C at night, with about 40 mm of rain (Innere Stadt, 1991–2020). Skies are often grey, and the sun sets soon after four.
- What she wore
- A long dark brown hooded shearling coat, closed from hem to chin, over an off-white sleeveless turtleneck and a dark brown croc-embossed skirt that narrows at the hem; black tights, black suede platform ankle boots and an olive-brown suede top-handle bag.
- Earlier or later
- In October a knit and a light coat are enough; it is about 15°C by day. In December it drops to about 5°C by day; add gloves and a hat.
