The Habsburg capital still wears its imperial robe — the Hofburg, Schönbrunn, and Ringstrasse all show how an empire built a city for itself. Vienna is Europe's musical address (Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss, Mahler, Schoenberg) and Europe's coffee-house address — Café Central and Sacher are institutions. The Secession invented modernity here, and today the baroque boulevards collide head-on with the contemporary scene at the MuseumsQuartier, the Naschmarkt, and along the Donaukanal.
