A city steeped in tradition, Vienna is a pulsating international metropolis at the heart of Europe, where east meets west. No other European city can look back on such a long history as a melting pot for so many different cultures. Vienna, more than any other city, has successfully integrated a diversity of cultural, artistic and architectural contributions into its own lifestyle.
Vienna is a city where the modern towers of the UNO city blend harmoniously with the Gothic Stephansdom cathedral, where an eventful past meets with a pulsating present
and where business life goes hand in hand with leisure time – Vienna occupies a firm place in the heart and memory of every visitor.
