Architecture, museums and Art
Vienna, the capital of Austria, is a city that harmoniously combines imperial grandeur with modern cultural street life. Vienna’s architectural style is a testament to special rich history. Start your explorations at the beautiful Schönbrunn Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Stroll through its opulent rooms and beautifully landscaped gardens.
Don’t miss the Hofburg Palace, the former imperial winter residence, now housing several museums, including the Imperial Apartments and the Sisi Museum. Nearby, the stunning St. Stephen’s Cathedral, with its iconic tiled roof, stands as a beacon of Gothic architecture in the heart of the city.
For art fans, Vienna is a true paradise. The Kunsthistorisches Museum (Museum of Art History) has an impressive collection of works by masters like Raphael, Caravaggio, and Bruegel. The Belvedere Palace, another architectural gem, showcases Austrian art, including Gustav Klimt’s famous painting “The Kiss.”
Music
Vienna’s musical heritage is world famous. As the city of Mozart, Beethoven, and Strauss, it offers a lot of opportunities to indulge yourself in classical music. Attend a concert at the historic Vienna State Opera or the ‘Musikverein’, home to the amazing Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. For a more intimate experience, enjoy a performance at one of the city’s many smaller venues or churches.
Food
Vienna’s culinary scene is as rich and varied as its cultural offerings. Indulge in traditional Austrian dishes like Wiener Schnitzel and Sachertorte. Don’t forget to visit a classic Viennese coffeehouse, such as Café Central or Café Sacher, to savor delicious pastries and coffee in a charming, historic setting.
In Vienna you’ll find two Takumi Restaurants, as the second restaurant recently opened its doors at the Krugerstrasse. Here you’ll find your favorite ramen and the welcoming feeling of the Takumi Family.
Nature
Vienna is also known for its beautiful parks and gardens. The Prater, with its iconic ‘Giant Ferris Wheel’, offers a delightful escape for a relaxed stroll or a fun ride. The ‘Stadtpark’, where the famous statue of Johann Strauss is located, is perfect for relaxing in the nature.
