Vienna Vienna

The Schönbrunn Palace with its princely yellow facade is just one of the treasures of the city on 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.
