Inspiring architecture, impressive cathedrals and ornate opera houses situated next to original and exquisite street facades are features of this dazzling City of Culture. Vienna is also home to some of the world’s most exquisite restaurants, museums and provocative contemporary art. Residing on the banks of the Danube River and with almost half of the city set aside for parkland, one of Vienna’s most enchanting pastimes is simply to sit outside and watch the world pass by.
