Walking in Vienna along "Zweierlinie" - City Ambience & Sounds in Vienna's Inner City

Today, most of our walk leads us along the path of what is known to most older Viennese as "Zweierlinie" (literally "line 2"). The Zweierlinie was a tram line that used to be operating from Hintere Zollamtstrasse, in the 3rd district, east of Vienna's old town, continuing on Invalidenstraße and Heumarkt, running across Karlsplatz south of the old town and then going all the way to Alser Straße/Universitätsstraße - always in 200-400 metres distance of Vienna's Ring Street.
Between 1966 and 1980 the route section between Karlsplatz and Universitätsstraße was moved into a tunnel a few meters below the surface in order to clear space for individual traffic. This tunnel was adapted later and now homes several stations of metro line 2.
Most of this tram line ceased operation between 1966 and 1980.
Part of our walk includes "Museumsquartier" which literally translates to "museum's quarter" as it homes several museums and art galleries, besides being a popular spot to hang out and meet up with friends especially in the summer.
