Two hours in Vienna

I was intending to go to see the film "Deux jours à Paris" with my French friend this evening. We discovered that the run had finished yesterday so we watched a video at her house instead. The lead actress in both films is Julie Delpy but rather than being set in Paris, "Before Sunrise" is set in Vienna - which was an added bonus as I shall be going there soon. But the scenes of the city did not particularly resonate with my memories of the place. Is that because my memories have faded or that the reality of the place has changed in the intervening years? Perhaps it's just that my little haunts were not the places the characters visited.
