Maria Theresien Platz

The square between the Kunsthistorisches and the Naturhistorisches Museum, two near-identical buildings facing each other across the 1888 monument to Maria Theresa. The couple stroll it in a short sequence of tight shots on the statuary before taking the tram out to the Cemetery of the Nameless, and the sightlines in the film can still be matched from the paths.
