Vienna
Vienna is different
Vienna has always been and continues to be a place where European history is made. The city is located at the meeting-point of three cultures, and the diverse cultural influences contribute to a unique atmosphere and socio-political structure at the heart of Europe. Vienna's geographical location and present standing will ensure that the city continues to play a decisive role in an expanded European Union.
Viennese culture has always exerted a strong influence over the rest of Europe. The works of Strauß, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert have all helped to make Vienna the musical capital of the world.
In addition to its rich cultural heritage, from Lippizaner horses and famous museums to Hofburg and Secession, modern-day Vienna boasts a vibrant cultural scene, and the diversity of culture on offer reaches its peak during the Vienna Festival.
Vienna provides an unrivalled setting for international conferences, thanks to its role as third UN city (after Geneva and New York), and its function as a hub for Eastern and Western Europe and a centre of cultural interaction.
