Vienna is the capital of Austria with a population of almost 2 million.

Vienna started out as a Celtic settlement on the banks of the Danube River and became one of the most important Roman centers of central European bases. No wonder that the historical part of this city is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The loveliest times of year to travel to Vienna is in spring and autumn, when the weather is beautiful and the peak tourist season is just beginning. The whole family will find fun and entertainment on a Vienna holiday, with plenty of sights to see.

Most of the city's tourist attractions are within the inner city area, which was once enclosed by the city walls. Other attractions include ‘The Hofburg Palace’, a museum and location of the Schatzkammer (treasury), holding the imperial jewels of the Habsburg dynasty. The ‘Sisi Museum’, a museum devoted to Empress Elisabeth of Austria, is also worth a visit. A lot of other museums are located in the museum quarter, the former Imperial Stalls which were converted into a museum complex in the 1990s. It houses the Museum of Modern Art and many more.
