The Habsburg emperors once ruled a huge empire from Vienna. The city is still dominated by the castles and places of the imperial seat: every year hundreds of thousands come to marvel at Schönbrunn, the magnificent imperial summer residence. Visit the Imperial Coach Collection, the Palm House and the Butterfly House. Admire Belvedere Palace, the magnificent state rooms in the Hofburg, and the imperial crown in the Treasury. Emperor Franz Joseph ordered the demolition of the city walls 130 years ago. In their place the Ringstraße was built - the showplace of the monarchy. Bordered by such important buildings as the State Opera, the Museums of Fine Arts and Natural History, Parliament, City Hall and Vienna University. Imperial delights for eyes and ears have been offered for centuries by the Spanish Riding School`s Lipizzaners. And the Vienna Boys`Choir.
The world capital of music. It provided a golden monument for its "Waltz King" Johann Strauss the genius of three-four time. An inspired musician in a long line of great composers: Haydn and Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, Mahler and Schönberg all worked here. A city with splendid concert halls, such as the Golden Hall in the Musikverein, from which the Philharmonic`s New Year`s Day concert is broadcast annually. Stars from all over the world love to appear here: in the State Opera; the Volksoper; the Konzerthaus. And at festivals like the Vienna Festival, the Klangbogen concerts during the Musical Summer, the Jazz Festval and the Haydn, Mozart and Schubert festivals. |
