Vienna
  Vienna is a city of many facets: Trendy clubs, young galleries,modern architecture and stylish boutiques are as much a part of Vienna as the concert halls, large museums, splendid buildings and nostalgic shops. From a Roman settlement to the world capital of music, Vienna has undergone vast changes throughout the centuries. From the late 18th century on, Vienna‘s culture – particularly its music – was famous throughout Europe. Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Strauss, Mahler, and Bruckner all lived in the city. Today, what makes Vienna unique is the way the city equally embraces history and modernity, spanning the glorious imperial age to contemporary art and architecture.
