Enjoy Vienna to the fullest
Vienna's opulence, coupled with the sheer abundance of cultural treasures, is something you will never forget. There is so much to discover: imperial Vienna, Art Nouveau, more than 100 museums, innovative architecture, and music in an unprecedented breadth and depth of variety. The city's coffeehouse culture adds significantly to the capital's charm, with irresistible Sachertorte and fondant fancies constantly tempting your taste buds. But beware before traveling: as these experiences can be overwhelming, returning travelers often experience a sense of melancholy and nostalgia—the post-Vienna blues. And acute Sachertorte cravings.

Viennese cafés
The Viennese coffee house has been an oasis of “gemütlichkeit” for ages. Traditional cafés, such as Central, Landtmann, Museum, and Demel, entice visitors with a wide variety of coffee-based drinks, international newspapers, and pastry creations. Modern representatives of the genre, such as the Ansari, Balthasar, and the Adlerhof, enhance the tradition with stylish flair. A close relative of the café is the pastry shop. Their specialty, pies and cakes, are the icing on Vienna's dolce vita in the form of Bundt cake and Sachertorte.
Elegant imperial Vienna
A stroll around Vienna can be like a journey back in time to the days of the empire—it comes as no surprise that the historic city center is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Vienna boasts 27 palaces and 163 other sumptous residences—examples of the city's illustrious history await on virtually every street corner, and the capital's coffee houses are the perfect places to dream of imperial days of yore. And if you are interested in shopping, you can visit one of the former purveyors of the imperial court. A trip around Vienna's magnificent Ringstrasse boulevard is always a special sightseeing experience.
A walking tour of Vienna
Night after night in Vienna, music fans are treated to live classical music. The Vienna concert schedule includes thousands of events of various sizes and genres over the course of the year. No other city has been home to so many composers—Mozart, Mahler, Haydn, Beethoven, and Johann Strauss, the Waltz King, all worked in the city. The Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna Boys Choir set a world-leading benchmark, while the State Opera House and the Golden Hall at the Musikverein are among the world's leading venues. Traditional strengths endure to this day—the electronic sound pioneered by local musicians and leading DJs enjoys worldwide popularity.
Old masters—young experts
The world's largest Bruegel collection and the prettiest kiss immortalized by Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) genius Gustav Klimt in his world-famous painting can only be found in Vienna. The cultural capital is also a place where you can discover a rich diversity of styles and eras. Baroque opulence and cool avant-garde coexist in an exciting creative environment. Artworks by talented young designers now hang in the ornate staterooms and are just as impressive as the old masterpieces found in Vienna's modern museums.
