When we think of Vienna, images of sweeping waltzes and balls at the Opera, beautiful buildings, the Spanish Riding School and traditional cafes come to mind. But alongside this history and tradition, the city also has a very different, contemporary side. These different lifestyles co-exist in a manner that is very elegant.
Be amazed by the stunning Gothic Stefansdom with a decorated spire that rises up to 137 meters, from where you get stunning views of the city.
A visit to the Sigmund Freud Museum will show you how the psychoanalyst lived and worked here between 1891-1938. Another Viennese feature is the Spanish Riding School that has been home of classic horsemanship for more than 400 years.
Then there is the Schoönbrunn Palace, the summer residence of the Imperial Family. Its beauty merits it a place on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Whichever you choose to do in Vienna, you will leave feeling culturally richer.
