From 20 January until 6 March, the 'Vienna Ice Dream' transforms the Austrian capital's Rathausplatz into a magical winter wonderland that will have residents and visitors slipping, sliding and gliding across a 5,600m ice rink. The city's Rathaus (City Hall) is an impressive backdrop, and the rink buzzes with skaters carving in time to music, people trying their hand at curling and spectators tucking into post-skate waffles Tyrolean Grosti (potato rosti) and gluhwein (mulled wine) Open daily from 9am - 11pm            wienereistraum.com .

                                                    Discovering the Roman World. Silver treasure. At the time - back in December 1961 - the construction workers were only supposed to be levelling a sports field, but instead they dug up ancient silver treasure. This was just one more proof that here, not far from the Rhine and just a stone's throw or so east of Basle, living Roman history lay buried. By Jupiter!
