The three-wheeled Ape hums through Vienna as if the city had folded its alleys into a single, compact ribbon. You slip into a low bench, the guide calls out a detail about an ornate façade, and the engine’s small rumble becomes part of the city’s soundtrack — a personal, moving window onto imperial squares and tight old-town lanes.
