Vienna is a multifaceted city with charming architecture that attracts tourists from all over the world. Every year, Vienna is visited by millions of travelers from all over the world. First of all, Vienna is famous for its attractions, the most significant of which are presented in this article.
Schönbrunn Palace Complex
Previously, Schönbrunn Palace was the residence of the imperial family. Now it is one of the most visited attractions in Vienna. The palace was built in the 18th century under the direction of the architect Fischer von Erlach. Walking through the castle you are literally transported back in time and feel all the delights of imperial life of those times.
The palace has 1,441 rooms, 45 of which are open to the public. The palace terrace offers a wonderful view of the city. The palace is surrounded by a picturesque park, which is designed in the French style. The palace also has a zoo where wild animals of various species live.
Vienna Opera
Speaking about the sights of the capital of Austria, the Vienna Opera deserves special attention. The opera building was built in 1869, however, during the Second World War it was destroyed. It was only in 1953 that a project to restore it was launched, led by the architect Erich Boltenstein.
In 1955, the restoration of the building was completed. Mozart's opera Fidelio was the first to be staged on the renovated stage. The hall was completely sold out. Everyone was unable to attend the opera because the hall could not accommodate so many people.
Today the Vienna Opera is open to absolutely everyone. However, tourists coming to Vienna for a short period of time should book tickets in advance; this can be done via the Internet.
St. Stephen's Cathedral
Another significant landmark of Vienna is the Catholic St. Stephen's Cathedral, which is located in the central square of the city. The cathedral building was built in the Gothic style. Inside the cathedral you can see a huge variety of relics, crucifixes and various church utensils.
Anyone can go down into the catacombs and personally see the burial places of the Austrian emperors. There is also the opportunity to climb to the top of one of the two towers, which offers excellent views of the city.
Next to the Cathedral is the Haas House, built of glass and metal. For those who like to tickle their nerves, it is recommended to visit the Tower of Madmen, which previously served as a clinic for the mentally ill, and now there is a museum of pathological anatomy here; the creepy exhibits will make the calmest visitors shudder.

Vienna on the map of Europe, how curious this phrase sounds. In fact, it seems like a certain blue blood vessel of Aunt Europe, just poke it with a sharp point and it will immediately bleed. Vienna is inhabited by 2.3 million Austrians, which is about 25% of the population of the entire state. It is not surprising that Austrians tend to settle in Vienna.
Perhaps we won’t say that people have lived in the Vienna area since Neolithic times, and we won’t talk about the pale red-haired Celtic tribes whose genes are still typical of the local population. Let us only mention from ancient times that the word “vein” itself is strongly associated with the local population, especially with women whose skin is so thin and delicate that the pattern of veins is often visible through it. This curious fact is presented as a kind of sophistication. However, for the rough Scythians, this option is very much for the connoisseur. And even for a strong connoisseur.
The city has developed urban transport, which is not surprising, otherwise it is unlikely that the capital of Austria would become the best city in the world to live in. There is even a metro here, one of the most beautiful and convenient in the whole world.
