Among these are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\nThe walk must not cost more than five&nbsp;Euro (Apparently the motto is: <q>If it is cheap, it is not worth anything!<\/q>).\n<\/li>\n<li>\nHe has to wear his orange trousers (typically worn by the trash collectors in Vienna) all the time.\n<\/li>\n<li>\nHe is not allowed to show any of the actual tourist sights.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But despite these restrictions, he did a great job in showing a different side of Vienna that is interesting to see as well.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, this entry is only available in Deutsch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2648,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[139,60],"class_list":["post-2647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-vienna","tag-europe","tag-city-sights","country-at"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2647\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
