Vienna Vienna

The princely yellow facade of Schönbrunn Palace rises regally over the banks of the Danube. Once the residence of the powerful Habsburg dynasty, the majestic edifice joins a staggering number of Baroque palaces and lush gardens that make Vienna one of the world's most distinguished cities. An ambience of grandeur pervades the Austrian capital's stately avenues, while a sophisticated charm fills its medieval center. All the while, hints of Vienna's cultural wealth reveal themselves; through a violinist playing from the steps of the cathedral; in the finale of a symphony, as the Philharmonic prepares for a concert; or in a stroll through the city's exceptional Museumsquartier.
