The pomp and grandeur of Europe are at its finest in Vienna, the capital famous as much for its long history of classical music and traditional Austrian desserts as it is for bold, modern architecture and international cuisine. Music lovers flock to Vienna for the chance to hear the Strauss Waltzes, aspiring architects come for the work of Hundertwasser and Alfred Loos and everyone comes to stroll through the monuments and parks of Ringstrasse. In Vienna you'll find eclectic wine bars and elegant bistros, cozy cafes and trendy bars, imperial ambience and casual chic. It is a city of contrasts that has grown and evolved to remain the jewel of Central Europe.
