Vienna, Austria

Extending along the banks of the Danube River, Austria’s capital served for a long time as the seat of the Holy Roman Empire, and of the Habsburg-Hungarian Monarchy. Rich in historic monuments, Vienna is often also referred to as “The City of Music” – a title bestowed on it because of the numerous famous composers it had given a home to over the years, and because of the first-rate musical events and festivals it stages. This area contains the public buildings dating from the Habsburg Monarchy, elegant private palaces, mansions, parks, and, what can be considered to be the city’s symbol – the St. Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom) with its  87 meters high steeple.

Night-life Vienna. A View of the City after Sunset

Enjoy the panorama of Vienna after the sun has set and experience the magnificently illuminated sights of Vienna.

At your feet – Vienna at night – see the splendid baroque cupolas of the Imperial Palace, neo-Gothic Vienna City Hall, the round Giant Ferris Wheel, the slim spires of St. Stephen’s Cathedral and many attractive apartment houses that were built during the past few years.
Vantage points for views over Vienna at night are not only the Giant Ferris Wheel, but also the Danube Tower with its revolving restaurants, or Kahlenberg in the north of the city. There are also restaurants and bars such as Cantino at the House of Music, the Sky Bar at Steffl Department Store or "Windows of Vienna."
A charming tip for the winter months: guided tours to the roof of the Museum of Natural History – they take place all year, but the view after sunset can only be enjoyed during the winter months.
