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.
