About Vienna

Vienna is the city of Mozart, Freud and Klimt — former capital of a centuries-old empire, today one of the cities with the highest quality of life in the world. Imperial palaces, world-class museums, historic cafés still serving Viennese coffee today and a classical music tradition alive in every evening concert make Vienna truly unique.
