Interesting Vienna Information

The OPEC and the United Nations couldn't have found a better host other than Vienna. Austria's capital and largest city is a political, economic, and cultural hotpot without all that controversy. In Vienna, life is relatively simple, but its monuments, palaces, and courtyards are not by any means ordinary.

Such simple beauty has given birth to world's greatest musicians - Strauss, Schubert, Brahms, Beethoven, and Mozart each have a special place in the city. Tourists can always visit the majestic State Opera, sit in the upholstered balconies, and listen as if Mozart himself was starting a serenade. Guests can also attend a concert at the Imperial Palace and marvel at the Vienna Hofburg Orchestra.

The Viennese traditional joie de vivre and splendid baroque palaces give a glance of possible musical excursions. There's a sweet tune playing in the city; it begins with the big wheels along Prater Park, the Hofburg Palace and the St. Stephen's Cathedral play the notes, and finally the Schonbrunn Palace and the Heroes Square sing the resounding chorus. You can also follow the Krems or the Danube, shop along Karntner Strasse, feast on pastries at the Vienna Woods, or join a river cruise atop the Danube.
