Vienna

Imperial Grandeur & Classical Music Capital

Best Time: Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct 4–6 Days Euro (€) Schengen Visa

Why Visit Vienna?

Vienna is one of Europe's most magnificent imperial capitals — a city of grand boulevards, baroque palaces, world-class museums, and the finest classical music tradition on Earth. As the former seat of the Habsburg Empire, Vienna accumulated centuries of artistic and architectural treasures that make it a cultural destination of unparalleled richness. The Vienna Philharmonic, the Spanish Riding School, the Kunsthistorisches Museum, and the Schönbrunn Palace are just the beginning. Vienna also excels in the art of living — its coffee house culture, Sachertorte, and Heuriger wine taverns make it one of Europe's most pleasurable cities to simply inhabit.
