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. |
