Vienna
Vienna has been consistently voted one of the world’s most liveable cities in recent years, with sustainability and safety going a long way to secure its status year after year.
Austria’s capital lies in the country’s east on the Danube River. Vienna’s artistic and intellectual legacy is a result of the powerful Habsburg monarchy. Their home for more than six centuries, the Hofburg palace complex, incorporates the Burgkapelle (Imperial Chapel), and the famed Spanish Riding School, where Lipizzaner stallions perform elegant equine ballet, along with a trove of museums, including in the chandeliered Kaiserappartements (Imperial Apartments). Other immense palaces include the baroque Schloss Belvedere and the Habsburgs' 1441-room summer residence, Schloss Schönbrunn.
One of the Habsburgs' most dazzling Rinsgstrasse palaces, the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, houses the imperial art collection. It's packed with priceless works, and treasures including one of the world's richest coin collections.
With a musical heritage that includes composers Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss (father and son), Brahms and Mahler, among countless others, Vienna is known as the City of Music. Its cache of incredible venues where you can catch performances today include the acoustically renowned Musikverein, used by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the gold-and-crystal main opera house, the Staatsoper, and the multistage Konzerthaus, as well as the dedicated home of the Vienna Boys' Choir, MuTh
The Viennese appreciation of the finer things in life extends to its opulent coffee-house 'living rooms' serving spectacular cakes; restaurants dishing up Austrian delicacies such as Wiener schnitzel, and rustic vine-draped wine taverns (Heurigen) in the vineyards fringing the city.
Vienna’s main attractions include:
· Schönbrunn Palace
· Hofburg Palace
· Spanish Riding School
· Belvedere Palace
· The Viennese Giant Ferris Wheel
