Vienna: A Classical and Romantic City
Vienna is a beautiful and classical city, oozing class and culture from every street, square and avenue. The lively capital of Austria, it is home to more than two million inhabitants and is the country's most visited city. Synonymous with many notable artistic endeavours and natural features, but especially the Danube River and the Waltz, the city has a long and illustrious history.
The preferred residence of numerous historic musicians and artists over the centuries, Vienna is a great place to spend a weekend. Whether you want to see the sights, visit the museums and other marvellous cultural havens, or simply just enjoy the social side of the city, you will not be disappointed.
Because the city has been inhabited for more than 2500 years there are many different styles of architecture and street layouts; medieval alleyways open out into glorious huge squares, surrounded by many baroque, gothic and other assorted constructions.
Over the years the streets of Vienna have resounded to the works of Beethoven, Mozart and of course, Strauss - the master of the waltz - amongst many others. Today the city continues to be a focal point for music - both classical and contemporary, hosting many concerts, festivals and exhibitions featuring the works of many famous composers.
Indeed, because of the sheer amount of events, exhibitions and conferences that are staged in the city, if you are thinking of visiting make sure you secure your accommodation well in advance. You'll find a fine choice of hotels in Vienna ranging from basic but well-presented B & Bs to ostentatious five star luxury.
However, once there you will not miss the imposing and impressive Imperial Palace of Hofburg, currently the official residence of the Austrian President, dates back to the 13th century but has been added to and renovated over the years. The palace also houses the Imperial Library, two museums and the national theatre. It was here in 1755 that Marie Antoinette, the daughter of Empress Maria Theresa and Francis I was born, and lived as a child before being married off to Louis XV at the age of 14, and ultimately met her untimely death upon the guillotine in 1793 during the French Revolution.
Back in modern-day Vienna there is enough embedded romance, passion and culture to ensure that whatever the occasion, whether a romantic weekend or extended city break this beautiful city will not disappoint!
