How locals say hello in Vienna
Spring (AprilโMay) or Christmas season (December)
Vienna's Kaffeehรคuser (coffee houses) are UNESCO-listed culture. Sit for hours โ no one will rush you.
Roman legions built the military fortress Vindobona around 15 BCE to guard the Danube frontier โ Emperor Marcus Aurelius died within its walls in 180 CE while writing his Meditations. The Habsburgs made it the capital of an empire ruling Central Europe for 640 years. By 1900 Vienna was home to Freud, Klimt, Mahler, and Wittgenstein โ a concentration of genius so dense that Stefan Zweig called it the city of his dreams.
Vienna was once the center of the Habsburg Empire โ the city influenced all of European classical music.
