Metropolis in the center of Europe. Founded 2000 years ago, Vienna was the center of the Habsburg Empire for six hundred years. And the city on the blue Danube is green, as half of Vienna is parks, meadows, and vineyards. Amidst the idyllic Baroque and Biedermeier atmosphere you will find a bustling center. Vienna, the cosmopolitan hub, has multifunctional conference centers, and its new fairground makes the Danube metropolis one of the most up-to-date convention locations in Europe. Vienna has also been the seat of the United Nations since 1967. Visitors arrive at Vienna from more than 140 international destinations in some 65 countries in the world.
Living culture. More than 50 theaters and opera houses as well as 100 museums invite visitors to enjoy cultural highlights. After all, in no other city of the world have lived and worked so many world-famous composers: Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss, Haydn, Mahler, and Schönberg among them. The waltz time of former centuries still permeates exhilarating dance-hall nights. Yes, the Vienna Waltz originated here. Tradition blends harmoniously with modern day, and the Viennese congeniality adds to Vienna's charming hustle and bustle. The innumerable Viennese cafés are favourite spots for both local and international coffee lovers.
