Looks like Italy... or at least Europe.

Am I getting warm? :)

DH and I agree -- maybe Rome. We just checked out Vatican City -- no luck.

I was just coming to ask about Austria...I have been scanning Prague, but haven't found anything yet.

ETA: I am seeing a lot of those green buildings in Prague.

It's Hofburg, but probably somebody else already got it because my comp is too slow... *hits comp upside the monitor*

This is basically the museum and arts district. The curved building is the Hofburg Palace. Large green roofed building on the left is Parliament, the light green on almost top middle center is the Burgtheater. The twin buildings (mirror images) are the Art and Natural history museums. In the bottom right corner is the Staatsoper (Vienna Opera House), with the Hotel Sacher Wien directly to the north. The Spanish Riding School is north east of the Hofburg (green roofed also). Those are the major highlights. :-) I love Vienna, lived there for 3 months when I was a junior in college. :-)
