Vienna is a city of music,cafes,waltzes,parks,pastries,and wine,a true cosmopolitan center,where different tribes and nationalities have,for centuries,fused their cultural identities to produce the intriguing and,often cynical,Viennese.
From the time the Romans selected a Celtic settlement on the Danube River as one of their most important central European forts,"Vindobona," the city we now know as Vienna,has played a vital role in European history.Austria grew around the city and developed into a mighty empire.The capital became a showplace during the tumultuous reign of the Habsburg dynasty,whose court was a dazzling spectacle.
The face of the city has changed time and again because of war,siege,victory,defeat,the death of an empire and the birth of a republic,foreign occupation,and the passage of time.Fortunately,the Viennese character -- a strict devotion to the good life -- has remained solid.
Music,art,literature,theater,architecture,education,food,and drink are all part of Vienna's allure,all of which we bring you in the pages that follow.
