Vienna

Vienna, the capital of Austria, is also known as the melting pot of Europe. Up until a century ago, it was the political and intellectual hub of the Austro-Hungarian Empire over more than 600 years. Nowadays, it is recognized as the most livable city in the world by the Economist and by Mercer.

From magnificent Baroque buildings to "golden" Art Nouveau, Vienna is renowned for achieving distinction in fine arts and architecture. The Hapsburg family has left masterpieces such as the Hofburg, the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Schönbrunn and many grand palaces, reminding visitors the glamor of the golden era. Besides these achievements, Vienna is also known as the City of Music. This is the city that nurtured the works of Mozart, Hayden, Schubert, and Beethoven. It is where the Strauss family created the Waltz. In Vienna, music really is in the air. The city's concert halls and theaters offer the whole range from classical to modern music throughout the year. It is also home to the world famous Vienna Boys Choir, whose members are described as Vienna's youngest ambassadors. Do not miss those great concerts and culture programs when you're in town!
