Venue and Travel Information Vienna – an imperial and royal city Vienna is a monumental city, which ably combines the legacy of the sophisticated lifestyle of past imperial Habsburg Dynasty days with the serenity of Eastern European cultures that were once part of the great Austro-Hungarian empire. To fully appreciate the grandeur of the city and the stunning surrounding forestry climb the 343 steps of the south tower of St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna’s most famous landmark for 850 years. Back on the ground, take a stroll around the pedestrian zone toward the State Opera and on to the Secession, a magnificent example of Art Nouveau architecture. For more alternative and whimsical scenery visit the Hundertwasser House and marvel over its roof covered with earth and grass, and large trees growing from inside the rooms. Lined with tempting boutiques and cafés, Vienna’s streets are definitely worth exploring. Stop off at one of the many animated and original coffee houses and indulge in a piece of Vienna’s famous chocolate cake - the Sachertorte - or alternatively savour the richness of a "Fiaker" (black coffee made with lots of sugar and a small glass of rum). Just a couple of metro stops away from the city centre you will find the Schönbrunn Palace - one of the most important cultural monuments in Austria with gardens catalogued by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. For exquisite flora from the jungles of all continents take a trip to the last and largest palm house of its kind in Europe and enjoy the night tour through its impressive iron-glass late 19th century construction. One of many delightful ways to enjoy an evening in Vienna is to visit one of the authentic Heuriger - wine taverns with gardens in the hilly outskirts of the city - the more simple and remote they are, the cosier the atmosphere. Alternatively, discover the maze of streets known as the Bermuda Triangle around St. Ruprecht's Church in the old town. These narrow alleys are home to just some of Vienna's most lively and bustling social nightspots. Vienna is not only a lieu for magnificent architecture and culinary indulgence, but also a centre for theater and music: in addition to the traditional venues, musicals, and concert stages, there is a lively alternative scene offering numerous cabarets and live concerts. This manorial city really does offer something to delight and surprise all tastes.
