A cordial welcome to Vienna! You are touring what is perhaps Europe's most
all-inclusive City of Culture. There is virtually no end to the variety of spectacular
sights waiting to be discovered in Austria's capital city: St. Stephen's Cathedral,
Karlskirche, Schönbrunn and Belvedere Palaces, Hofburg Imperial Palace and the
numerous majestic edifices enhancing the grandeur of the "Ring" are just a few
of the highlights of this unforgettable tour. Scarcely any other city is able to boast
such a rich diversity of music and drama events in one compact space or lay claim
to so many museums of world renown, ranging from the Museum of Fine Arts, the
MUMOK Museum of Modern Art through to the Leopold and Belvedere Collections.
The Secessionist or Viennese Art Nouveau Style offset by contemporary architecture
add further charm and contrast to Vienna's unique appeal. This is one of the world's
most captivating cities. Whatever you are looking for - buoyant, pulsating and
metropolitan lifestyle or peace and tranquillity - you're bound to find it here!
