This is not only evident through sights like St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Prater, Hofburg Palace, the Hundertwasser House, Naschmarkt market or Schönbrunn Palace. Or a high-class selection of arts and music venues, ranging from the Art History Museum and the Natural History Museum to the State Opera and the Albertina. What’s more, the city is characterised by a famous culture of indulgence celebrated at the traditional “Heuriger” taverns and at coffee houses. Vienna is a place of everyday pleasures.

By the way:More than half of the city surface consists of green spaces, parks, and gardens, among them the famous Vienna Woods and the Donau-Auen National Park.
