This city always finds ways to surprise and delight you. Just take in its unique
atmosphere, which is rich in history and tradition, yet also fresh and upbeat.
The city centre is a small universe in itself:
discover historical palaces face to face with
modern facades, and elegant boutiques next to
trendy fashion stores.
When it comes to food, you should definitely try
famous Austrian dishes such as 'Wiener Schnitzel'
(breaded escalope of veal) and treat yourself
to coffee and a slice of cake at one of Vienna's
many cafés.
Music lovers may jump at a chance to see
'Le nozze di Figaro' or 'Tosca' at the Staatsoper,
while others may prefer more modern fare offered
during the annual 'Wiener Festwochen' festival.
Get a feel of Vienna's art scene during a city walking
tour, or while visiting one of
Vienna's many museums.
Must-sees will include Gustav
Klimt shows both at Albertina
and Belvedere Palace.
Sights not to be missed
are St. Stephen's Cathedral
right in the heart of the city,
Schloss Schönbrunn, and
the Giant Ferris Wheel at
the 'Prater' fairground.
