About the city of Vienna

If you feel like learning more about the city of Vienna and its history or culture, you will find it here. Because Vienna is not only an old city, but also a particularly glorious one with more than just a narrative story. The beginnings of the city go back to Roman antiquity, as there was in the city center of Vienna a Celtic settlement, which was under Roman leadership.

During the Middle Ages Vienna was an important trading center from an early age, owing mainly to its location on the beautiful blue Danube, which was already in active use. But the wealth came under the rise of the Habsburgs.

Siebed twice by the Turks, Vienna developed into a cultural metropolis in the 18th and 19th centuries. The traces of baroque architecture and the influence of the artists can still be admired today.

The city of Vienna has many facets and the many magnificent buildings, municipal districts and personalities all have their own story to tell.
