Things to do in Vienna

You can also visit Schönbrunn Palace, the summer residence of the Habsburgs. Also worth seeing is the impressive City Hall (Rathaus) and the State Opera, one of the most important opera houses in the world.

The icy elegance of historic Vienna gives way to the colours of modernity in Hundertwasser district, built in the mid-80s as part of a social housing marked by imaginative architectural solutions, which were designed by the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser and recall the work of the Spanish Gaudi.

Vienna is the right place for people who love art: here avant-garde movements flourished, such as the "Jugendstil" and the "Secession". The most representative artist of that period was Gustav Klimt, whose works are housed in various museums of the city, including the Belvedere Austrian Gallery.

City full of parks – the most famous is the Prater with its Giant Ferris Wheel – Vienna is known as the "capital of music", having been the birthplace of composers such as Strauss and Schubert and having hosted Beethoven and Mozart.

Finally take a break in one of the many cafes, authentic city’s institutions, between a cup of tea and a taste of the famous Sacher Torte.
