VIENNA, AUSTRIA -- The capital of Austria is framed by baroque magnificence and passion for art.

From the imperial palaces such as Hofburg to the Habsburg Empire and the summer residence of Schönbrunn with its vast gardens, you can immerse yourself in the fascinating daily life of Emperor Franz Joseph and his spouse Elisabeth, the legendary “Sisí”.

Vienna has also been defined as a musical metropolis: big masters such as Mozart, Strauss and Beethoven have left their footprints there, contributing to build the reputation of the city as a cultural hub.

However, the city does not solely follow the three-four time of the Viennese waltz… The contemporary scene has been strongly developed and this is something we can notice above all in the Museum Quarter, a spot devoted to modern art in all its facets.

One needs to surrender to the mouth-watering Austrian cuisine: from its famous Viennese escallops (Schnitzel) and its delicious pastries (highlighting Sacher cake) that can be tasted in one of the traditional cafés of the city, to the wine in the typical Austrian taverns called “Heurigen”. The welcoming Viennese atmosphere can be felt anywhere.
