Once the heart of a vast empire, Austria’s capital contains all the beautiful and fascinating remnants of that long and illustrious history: the arts, from music and dance to galleries and studios; castles and gardens; culinary wonders, too.
Compact and walkable, it’s a place where you can see a lot in a short length of time. And there’s certainly plenty to keep you busy over a 24-hour span in this bustling city of 2 million. Whatever you choose to do, as the Billy Joel song says—“Vienna waits for you.”
