Vienna was once the heart of a vast realm, the Habsburg Empire. For a time, the possessions of the Habsburgs, who ruled for more than 600 years, were so far-flung that it was said that the sun never set on its dominions. All that came to an end more than 80 years ago. Today, Austria is a small country of about eight million people. But Vienna still has heart. It is one of the most comfortable, interesting, beautiful capital cities in the world.
Beneath the visible splendor of Vienna's art, music, and architecture, lies an even richer life that is seldom noticed by its many visitors: The quality of day-to-day life for the majority of Vienna's citizens. For example, Vienna's streets are clean and safe. Crime is not a usual occurrence here. There is little poverty and even less downright misery in the streets.
- Pros:sacher torte and all those fantastic cakes!
- Cons:in winter time is very cold and windy
