Vienna is an attractive city known for its cultural and educational institutions. During the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, it was the musical capital of the world and the home of many famous composers, including Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.

Today, Vienna remains a city of strong musical heritage and is home to the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Vienna State Opera, and the Music Conservatory. It also boasts numerous museums and art galleries, including the Kunsthistorisches Museum (Museum of Art History), and outstanding schools and scientific organizations. Yet Vienna remains a relaxed and remarkably comfortable city.
