Welcome to
Vienna
Austria
Vienna is the imperial city par excellence — a place where the grandeur of the Habsburg Empire lives on in its palaces, opera houses, and coffee houses in a way that feels entirely natural rather than preserved. The Kunsthistorisches Museum, the Belvedere, and the Albertina hold some of the world's greatest art collections, while the Vienna State Opera and the concert halls of the Musikverein make it the undisputed capital of classical music. Vienna's café culture — lingering over a Melange and a slice of Sachertorte for hours — is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage and one of the great pleasures of European travel.
