That is why we have put together an online Vienna Travel Guide full of essential information for your trip.
Vienna is a unique blend of the historic and the modern: so full of tradition that it can be read on the face of the city, but with a forward-looking approach that will surprise the visitor. Vienna's role as the seat of the Habsburg Empire for centuries can be seen in the wealth of architecture and in the city's artistic and musical heritage. Many of the world's most important composers including Beethoven and Mozart have lived and performed behind Vienna's Baroque facades. In addition to the city's Baroque splendour, there are excellent examples of Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) architecture that also flourished here.
