Vienna is one of those cities that do not frequently make it to the top of the list of beginner travellers just starting to get to know Europe. Paris, Rome, Venice and Barcelona are likely to beat Vienna in popularity, but anyone who had been to the Austrian capital would rightfully deem it unfair. Vienna is the safest, quietest and the most charming place to be, where culture gets tangled with history, and classic art is intertwined with the modern and avant-garde. Vienna is the city of Mozart, Sigmund Freud, strudel, Viennese waltz and the most delicious coffee. From the mid-20th century it is also home to the legacy of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, one of the most imaginative and bizarre artists and architects who walked these cobbled streets. His Hundertwasserhaus along with the art gallery is a well-known attraction of Vienna. Other more traditional places of interest are St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the symbol of the city and a Gothic wonder; the apartment of Sigmund Freud, where the father of psychoanalysis consulted his patients; the museum quarter of Venice with 20 museums joined together in harmony of a unified architectural ensemble.

In 2008 a record was broken with 4.5 million arriving to the capital during the Euro 2008 football championship hosted by Austria. Presently, even while the world is still recovering from a sharp economic downturn, Vienna continues to attract visitors with its festivals, ceremonies, traditional Viennese balls and world-class musical performances.
