Austria: Vienna

Wien bleibt Wien! Welcome to the former imperial capital of the Habsburg Empire. The imperial past has left behind its traces everywhere here. You find well-preserved and historically valuable buildings in the city centre, the city is blessed with imperial castles and palaces and magnificent traces of the past are to be found in the museums.

Vienna is and has been sung about by many. Whether Falco, Udo Jürgens or the waltzes that are so famous for Vienna, together they have performed and do perform a hymn of praise about Vienna. Come to Vienna too, learn the German langauge and be taken in by the charm of Austria and the capital.

The list of sights worth seeing extends from the Stephansdom, the landmark of Vienna, to the vast Prater with its ferris wheel (Riesenrad), the imperial Schönbrunn and Belvedere palaces to the parliament building, the Karlsplatz and the gothic town hall (Rathaus). But the charm of Vienna does not only come from the countless sights. Walk in the city centre, where one building is more beautiful than the next, marvel at the wonderful shops of the Kärntner Strasse, relax in the renowned parks and visit the historically charged palaces. Have a typical Viennese coffee, enjoy the famous Viennese dishes and you will see that you will thoroughly marvel at ths Austrian city on the Danube.
