Vienna, ‘City of Music’ is Austria’s capital and by far its biggest city. Vienna’s pivotal role in Europe’s history hinges on iconic figures, from the Hapsburg Monarchs to the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. Today, Vienna is host to many major international organizations including the United Nations and OPEC, and is a key destination for businesses, as well as expat and diplomatic communities. Boasting a rich cosmopolitan lifestyle, arts and culture, Vienna is officially the nicest city to live in, according to consulting firm Mercer’s quality of living index. In 2011, for the third year running, Vienna topped Mercer’s ranking. Not only is it an inspiring place to do business and a sumptuous city in which to live; families of all ages will love it here too. Weekends with the kids will be varied, fun and enriching. Whether you take them to the tropical Butterfly House, inside one of the world’s most magnificent "Jugendstil" (Art Deco) greenhouses, or for a day of thrills at the Wiener Prater fairground, you’ll never be at a loss for things to do.
