Welcome to Vienna
Vienna has long been the centre of things.
From the Music of Mozart to the Architecture of Wagner and the art of Klimt and Schiele, the city lives on the creative cutting edge.
Beneath the rich stucco and decadent baroque facades lies a ferociously modern place, leaders in technology and the avant-garde.
Here opulence lies with oddness and the rich luxury of the past abuts the minimal present.
Vienna is a city of pure creativity.
