The magical city of Vienna (Viewn) stands on the River Danube, with wooded hills to the north and west. The Danube runs through two man-made channels, built to prevent flooding, which have created a narrow island in the middle. Vienna is the capital of Austria and by far the largest city in the country being the cultural, economic and political center. It is clean and safe, and has all the inspiration that you could wish for in order to discover this wonderful part of Europe.
The heart and historical city of Vienna, the Innere Stadt (Inner City), was once surrounded by a mighty city wall. The wall was removed in 1857, and the new space was used for a street around Vienna, today's "Ringstrasse". Imposing buildings, monuments and parks were created along this Ringstrasse, such as Rathaus (town hall), the Burgtheater, the University, the Parliament, and the State Opera.
Art and culture have a long tradition in Vienna, including theater, opera, classical music and fine arts. The Burgtheater is considered one of the best theaters in the German-speaking world alongside its branch, the Akademietheater. The Volkstheater Wien and the Theater in der Josefstadt also enjoy good reputations. There is also a multitude of smaller theaters, in many cases devoted to less mainstream forms of performing arts, such as modern, experimental plays or cabaret.
The influx of visitors from all over the world has made Vienna the most popular urban tourist destination in Austria. Its climate is generally moderate and mild and reliably follows the four distinct seasons. Average summer temperatures range from 20°C to 30°C; the average winter temperatures are around 0°.
