Current live information

Did you know?

Vienna International Airport, also known as Schwechat, is Austria's largest and most important airport, located approximately 18 kilometres southeast of the city centre. It opened in 1938 and today serves as an international hub, particularly for flights to Central and Eastern Europe. Vienna, the capital of Austria, lies directly on the Danube and is considered one of Europe's most culturally rich cities. It is famous for its long history as the imperial city of the Habsburgs, its classical concerts, and its magnificent architecture.

Places of interest

An absolute highlight of Vienna is Schönbrunn Palace with its impressive Baroque architecture and extensive palace gardens. It was once the summer residence of the Habsburg imperial family. St. Stephen's Cathedral in the heart of the city is Vienna's most famous landmark and offers breathtaking views over the city from its south tower. The Hofburg, the former residence of the Habsburgs, now houses the National Library, museums, and the magnificent Spanish Riding School.

Another must-see is the Museum Quarter with its renowned art collections, as well as the Vienna Prater with its world-famous Ferris wheel.

Useless knowledge

• It takes 8 hours to digest a Wiener Schnitzel. That's enough time to thoroughly rethink your eating habits.
• When you then get to the New Year's resolutions, you'll probably soon land on a Sachertorte. The largest of its kind, incidentally, had a diameter of 2.5 metres.
• By 1950, sitting in Vienna cost money: so-called "Sesselfrauen" offered seats in Viennese gardens and parks for a fee.
• The lifts in old Viennese houses are often smaller than a laundry basket and sound like an opera tenor with a fear of heights when they're in use.
• The theatre scene is so extensive that there's a suitable play for every life situation. Existential crisis? Wednesday 7:30 PM. Heartbreak? Saturday, Chamber Opera.
