Vienna is in the stunning alps and is one of the countries that divide Western Europe from Eastern Europe, near the eastern border of Austria.  Vienna is the capital and smallest federal state of Austria.  Although small in stature, Vienna is the center of much of the business in Europe.  The headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization are all located in the city of Vienna.  Vienna is home to the magnificent Hapsburg Palace of Hofburg and the Stephansdom gothic cathedral, alongside vibrant modern urban spaces like the Museums Quartier.  If you are a fan of classical music, you will love Vienna.  This is the city that nurtured the works of Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Brahms and Mahler.  The music is still a driving force in the city today.  Vienna offers everyone a rich mixture of attractions, from palaces and museums to parks and cathedrals. Serene, fascinating and always beautiful, Vienna is an essential stop for any world traveler.

Vienna boasts over 100 museums such as the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Belvedere Museum, Museum Judenplatz, and the Sigmund Freud Museum, which attracts millions of visitors each year to this culturally important European city.  Most of the important cultural and historical sites are found within the Innere Stadt such as the House of Music, Hofburg Palace, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Musikverien Music Hall and the MuseumsQuartier Wien. Nearby do not miss visiting the French gardens at Belvedere Palace, Stadtpark, Hofburg Palace and the Spanish Riding School.  Spend an afternoon at one of Vienna’s traditional coffee houses and enjoy a wonderful cup of Vienna coffee.  Catch a performance at the world-famous Vienna State Opera. Head out to the beautiful open air Naschmarket to sample some of Vienna’s local favorite treats.  Families can take the kids to the Prater Amusement Park, its Vienna’s largest park. Take a sunset river cruise or bike ride along the Danube River. 

 

Vienna has been home to many famous musicians, including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven and Falco.  Their residences can be admired across the city and their graves can be found at the city's Zentralfriedhof and St. Marx Cemetery.  In the summertime, the city organizes free open-air concerts commemorating the achievements of these great composers.  The Ringstrasse, the former encircling border of the city center was turned into a magnificent boulevard and is worth a walk.  A must for tourists is the Schloss Schonbrun; it was the former summer seat and residence of the Habsburgs. There you can visit the parks, palm house, butterfly house and the world-renowned Schonbrunn Zoo.
