Vienna: A Visit to the former Imperial City
Those who visit the capital of Austria, Vienna, will find a European Capital that is incredibly marked by its tradition and history. For many visitors, Vienna is a trip to the traces of Sisi. One finds everywhere monuments and buildings of the former monarchy. During a visit in the city of Habsburg, one will realise what a huge empire Austria had been and the power that it had.
But Vienna is not only a city of history but also a modern European capital with an unbelievable high living standard. Modern office buildings and business districts re as present as huge green complexes for relaxing. Everywhere are parks and benches spread all over the city for relaxing. And of course, at almost every corner there is a café where the famous breakfast of Vienna is offered.
Vienna offers an incredible abundance of sightseeings, countless churches, buildings and museums, several big castles with adjacent palace gardens and of course a vivid inner city where one can simply loaf and do some shopping.
