Wien (Vienna)

Vienna is a city of old-fashioned, elegant European tastes; a center of classical art and culture merging with the modern. The capital of Austria, Vienna is historically significant for numerous contributions to opera and art, its ornate halls once playing host to Mozart and Strauss, as well as for the lavish palaces and churches from kingdoms past. Thus, this clean city has much to offer history buffs by way of museums and can dazzle anyone with its architecture. It remains a cultural center of Europe, the largest city in Austria.

Head to the Museum Quarter, Schloss Belvedere, the Sisi Museum or the Liechtenstein Museum for some of Vienna's best-regarded attractions.
