It is definitely worth to know the information that Useless Facts Vienna has to offer. It is something new to hear about Empress Sisi’s fetish for tattoos, or the nuns who interfered with Casanova.

You might have heard Viennese expressions like „leiwand“ and are still wondering how to translate such funny words into another language, since nobody knows where it comes from.
