        Vienna is a dream city for anyone with a romantic streak or an interest in history. Wander along narrow, medieval alleyways or across imperial squares, view Schönbrunn Palace or the Imperial Palace (Hofburg) in the footsteps of Sissi and Emperor Franz Josef, and marvel at the majestic architecture along the Ring boulevard. Be inspired by an atmosphere steeped in history - which also boasts the comforts and infrastructure of a modern city!

        City of culture

        Vienna possesses a lively and vast array of cultural attractions, including classical or experimental theatre, film or dance festivals, opera or operetta, or exhibitions and concerts, and famous coffee houses or traditional wine taverns ("Heurige"), famous culinary specialities as well.

        City of music

        Vienna has been synonymous with music for centuries, and was home to Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Johann Strauss. This outstanding musical heritage has been preserved right to the present day.

The Museum of Fine Arts, for instance, is one of the world's largest and most distinguished museums, housing priceless works of art. Even some of its underground stations are listed properties (on account of their elegant, ornamental Jugendstil style designed by Otto Wagner)! And Vienna is also uniquely zestful as far as its literature is concerned.
