City Guide: Vienna

A dynamic city that sits at the heart of refined culture - its Vienna.

Vienna is brimming with grand imperial palaces, museums flanking impressive urban squares and the Hofburg - the seat of the royal Habsburg dynasty.

The mark left by its imperial past is everywhere in the Austrian capital, making it a major historic center in Europe. As well as being central to European history, only a short distance from the spectacle that is the Hofburg, the MuseumsQuartier houses some of the world's most thought-provoking modern art.

The city is a mecca for lovers of the classics and was home to great composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Schubert, Brahms, Strauss, Mahler and Schönberg. For the cultural experience that is Vienna look no further than Booked.net.
