About Vienna

Architecturally, the city is still characterized primarily by the buildings around Vienna’s Ringstrasse from the Wilhelminian period, but also by Baroque and Art Nouveau (Vienna Modernism and Vienna Secession). Through its role as the imperial capital and residence of the Austrian Empire from 1804 onwards, Vienna became a cultural and political center of Europe. The historic center of Vienna and Schönbrunn Palace are now UNESCO World Heritage sites. With around 7.5 million tourists annually and around 18.9 million overnight stays in 2024, Vienna is one of the most visited cities in Europe.
