Location
Height above sea level: 171 mPopulation: 1.6 millionVienna is famous for its unique combination of historic nostalgia, dating back to the times of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and contemporary, modern day trends. Skyscrapers stretch up into the sky - from the Gothic tower of St Stephan's cathedral to the recently completed Millennium Tower. The romantic imperial city attracts visitors with the magnificent Hofburg, the winter residence of the Habsburgs, and the splendid summer palace of Schönbrunn; the historical heart of the city on the other hand surprises with extremely modern buildings, such as the Haas House opposite the cathedral. Elegant Art Nouveau architecture, lavish Baroque and picturesque Biedermeier invite you to stroll through the past, while the new, developing skyline on the other side of the Danube is already a view to the future. Art, culture and the city itself as a work of art are all a mixture of past and present. Theatre, musicals, festivals - whether it be classic or contemporary, there is always something going on in Vienna! One event follows the other. Vienna is a beautiful city and one of the most exciting places in the world. Hundreds of shops invite you to browse through their wares, the traditional cafés are the perfect place to sit and relax and the evening can be spent at a traditional wine tavern or one of the city's fine restaurants.

Vienna in summer
Parks and gardens, open air swimming pools, the Prater recreation area and the car-free Danube island ensure that there is plenty of opportunity for sport and relaxation. Vienna is a Mecca for cyclists and skaters.

Vienna in winter
Vienna is particularly attractive in the time running up to Christmas with its many atmospheric "Christkindl" Christmas markets. The Kärntner Strasse and other shopping streets bustle with activity during the day and in the evening the Vienna night scene comes alive.
