Vienna is a metropolis that still cherishes her old dream of splendour and glory.
The overly ornate façades and cobbled streets and countless ancient monuments make Vienne a place not to be missed.
However in the heart of the city, one will discover contemporary architecture extending its tentacles. In the form of glass-and-chromium buildings.
On the outskirts of Vienna a new district called Donau-City is being constructed. It is inspired by the skyline of places such as Chicago and Tokyo.
The best way to discover the city and visit Vienna's sights is by public transport. You have the choice of the Subway (which run till just after midnight),
