Excursions

Imperial Vienna
Walk in the footsteps of the Habsburgs, visit the splendid baroque Schönbrunn and Belvedere Palaces, or stroll along the magnificent Ring Boulevard and take a look at the heart of the former vast Habsburg empire, the Imperial Palace. Get a sense of the luster and glory of the old empire by visiting St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Spanish Riding School, the Giant Ferris Wheel at the Prater, as well as the sarcophagi in the Imperial Vault.

Historic Center of Vienna: Part of UNESCO'S World Cultural Heritage
Vienna's historic center, in its unity, is considered one of the most beautiful city landmarks in Europe. Three eras left their mark on the former residence of the Habsburgs: the Middle Ages with Gothic St. Stephen's Cathedral whose spire points toward heaven, one of Vienna's landmarks; the Baroque whose most important achievement is the Imperial Palace with its sumptuous cupolas. And the Ring Boulevard era of the late nineteenth century, when such splendid buildings as the Vienna State Opera and the Museum of Fine Arts were built to replace the former city walls.

Vienna is hot & cold, loud & soft, expected & unexpected
This is no contradiction - Vienna is a city of many facets. Electronic DJs are a part of Vienna as much as the Vienna State Opera. Trendy clubs, "young" galleries, modern architecture and stylish shops are as much Vienna as the concert halls, the large museums, the splendid buildings and the nostalgic shops.
