Austria City Highlights
Vienna Once the hub of the mighty Hapsburg Empire, Vienna is the capital of Austria and center of the country's musical life. In Vienna you can admire imperial architecture and visit the places that influenced classical musicians such as Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss, and Brahms. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, Vienna has recovered its roll as a main capital in Central Europe. It's a favorite with visitors who enjoy beautiful architecture, interesting museums, and, of course, the opera and classical music concerts.
