Vienna Overview

The romantic city of Vienna is the capital city of Austria as well as one of the most popular urban tourist destinations in the country. The city has been a popular travel destination for years and years as visitors have been inspired by seductive atmosphere and the array of cultural attractions. In addition, Vienna has an outstanding musical heritage and is home to a number world celebrated artists.

Vienna, the showpiece of the all-conquering Habsburg dynasty, is a wonderful holiday or business destination choice. Monumental edifices line the city centre, world-class museums overflow with artefacts, it has a nightlife that begs experiencing, it's home to incredibly well trained Lipizzaner horses belonging to the internationally recognised Spanish Riding School and it's 'boys choir' is one of the best anywhere.

One of the most interesting elements of the city is the Schönbrunn Palace, which has been designated by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site for its noteworthy beauty. Another popular place to visit is the Belvedere Palace, which is celebrated for its wonderful architecture and interior design.

Vienna has emerged as a top tourist destination, thus developing a fantastic tourism infrastructure, which provides a wide range of accommodation including first class hotels to budget lodgings. You'll find hotels scattered throughout the city, even well into the suburbs. The larger international chains arrived late in Vienna, led by the Inter Continental in the mid 1960s. This means that many hotels are small by today's standards; but it also means that hotels tend to be individually run and offer more personal service.
There are also a number of fine restaurants that serve the most delicious local treats and of course, these dining establishments are overflowing with a romantic ambiance.
