Foreword
What a delicious summer it's been so far, here in Vienna. It's good you're here now, to enjoy what's promising to be a great autumn. Even if it will cool down a bit weather-wise, the city's cultural scene is heating up. The concert and theatre season has kicked off, with plenty of performances that are worth catching at venues across town. Vienna's museums and galleries have dozens of amazing exhibitions this autumn too; see our selection in the Events chapter. It's grape time too, and even if you're not a big wine drinker, a tour of the lovely nearby Wachau Valley (see page 50) is a great day trip. Closer to the city centre, the famous Heurigen taverns (see page 38) that can be found dotted around Vienna's pretty vineyards, which are even prettier when autumn leaves start to fall. Whatever you do this autumn, let us know your tips and comments at [email protected]. Enjoy Vienna.
history
Greeting from the mayor
Vienna is a city of dreams. A city full of li fe, economic vitality, efficient transportation, numerous modern buildings and architectural gems. A city that offers people work and the youth a wide range of opportunities. Vienna is also the city of green parks, calm, dreamy alleys, art and music. This city attracts people. Vienna is growing; life Stadt Wien/PID, can be felt on every corner and Photo: Hubert Dimko in every street. Vienna is rightly deemed a city worth living in, a model of providing medical and social benefits. Hardly any other city in the world is as closely tied to both medical tradition and medical advances as Vienna. As the headquarters of international agencies such as OPEC, the UN and the International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna is also a cosmopolitan city of culture and gastronomy - just as the Vienna School of Medicine became an international term, so too has Viennese cuisine gained an international reputation. Simply put, Vienna is the perfect mix: street art and the State Opera are just as much a Viennese pair as the Heuriger and first class cuisine. Internationally acclaimed exhibitions in the Albertina or the Museumsquartier are just as much a part of us as an improvised stage in the outer districts or the film festival at Rathausplatz, Europes biggest open air cinema. The rich spectrum of cultural offerings makes Vienna a leading cultural metropolis; one often hears the term international capital of music connected with it. On the one hand, there are the many composers and musicians who have lived and worked in Vienna over the past few centuries. On the other, there are the Viennese music institutions with their grand tradition, which constantly keep this reputation fresh and carry it forth into the world. In the best tradition of the many Viennese markets, I can only say: have a look around! Welcome to Vienna! Dr. Michael Hupl Starting off as a tiny village along the Wien river, Vienna is now the 10th largest city in the EU and home to many major international organizations such as the United Nations and OPEC.

Antiquity
Founded around 500 BC, Vienna was originally a Celtic settlement. By 15 BCE, the town had developed into a Roman frontier city called Vindobona, protecting the Roman Empire from Germanic tribes.
Medieval times
During the Middle Ages, Vienna became the residence of the Habsburg dynasty in 1440 and eventually grew to become the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.
Beleaguered by Ottomans
On their march towards western Europe, the Ottoman armies were twice stopped at Vienna in the 16th and 17th centuries. During the 1529 Siege of Vienna, the city was lucky to escape defeat and was saved by an early winter and epidemics. A century later, the city's fortifications had been greatly expanded proved their worth during the 1683 Battle of Vienna, when they helped the city survive for two months, allowing the army led by Polish King Jan Sobieski to assemble and defeat the Ottomans for good.
Cover story
The busy Reichsbrcke crosses the Danube river from the city centre to the modern UN City on the Donauinsel island. Besides the road, bike lanes and pedestrian footpaths, the bridge also carries the U-Bahn metro across the river, in a tunnel under the road. The modern bridge is from 1980; its predecessor from 1936 survived the war but dramatically collapsed in 1976.

18th century
Baroque was the style of the century and hundreds of buildings were constructed or remodelled in the curly Baroque look by architects like Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt. The local nobility started constructing palaces in the now safe countryside immediately outside the city, resulting in several magnificent summer palaces, such as Palais Liechtenstein and Schnbrunn.

19th century
Vienna became the capital of the huge Austrian Empire in 1804, and later of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, playing an important role in European and world politics. The arts blossomed, and classical music witnessed golden years. The rule of Emperor Franz Joseph I transformed the city in many ways: culture, arts and architecture blossomed, the city walls were demolished in 1858 to make way for the grand Ringstrae boulevard lined lined with impressive buildings, the city expanded to include its suburbs, and the Danube river which caused several serious floods was canalised and tamed.
Its now 21 years since we published the first In Your Pocket guide - to Vilnius in Lithuania - in which time we have grown to become the largest publisher of locally produced city guides in Europe. We now cover more than 75 cities across the continent (with Tbilisi, in Georgia, the latest city to be pocketed ) and the number of concise, witty, well-written and downright indispensable In Your Pocket guides published each year is approaching five million. We also publish an iPhone app, including more than 40 guides, which can be downloaded for free from the AppStore. Search for IYP Guides by name.

Adolf Hitler himself an Austrian triumphantly marched into town and spoke from the Hofburg balcony during the Anschluss ('joining up') of Austria in 1938. Vienna's thousands of Jews suffered badly, harassed by both the state and anti-Semitic citizens, and decimated by the Holocaust. Vienna was badly damaged in 1944 and 1945 during the Soviet advance, but largely reconstructed in the 1950s-60s, with the city centre proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. Post-war Vienna was divided into sectors ruled by The USA, UK, France and the Soviet Union just like Berlin, though the city centre was an international zone where control was handed over to another power every month. The occupation lasted 10 years, in which time spies from east and west played their Cold War games. Austria regained full independence in 1955, and from the 1970s Vienna became the host city of many imporetant international organisations, including various UN agencies, OPEC, the International Atomic Energy Agency and OSCE. The crumbling of the Iron Curtain in 1989 profoundly changed the city's outlook. Many companies took advantage of the prime location and nearby Bratislava in Slovakia now forms an economical unit of 3 million people with Vienna.

20th century
Industrialisation of and immigration to Vienna lead to a period of expansion. By 1910, Vienna was the sixth largest city in the world, with large numbers of Czech and Jewish residents. The city was a centre of the new Jugendstil style from 1900, locally represented by Otto Wagner and the Vienna Secession association. The Austro-Hungarian Empire fell apart at the end of the First World War and in 1918 the Republic of Deutsch-sterreich (German-Austria) was created. Socialism quickly became popular and "Red Vienna" saw many residential estates built, but also shelling of locals supporting the socialist militia by the Austrian Army during the 1934 civil war.

Arriving in Vienna
City Airport Train By plane
Viennas international airport is located in Schwechat, 18km southeast of the city centre. After passing customs (for arrivals from outside the Schengen zone) and collecting your baggage, ATMs, banks and tourist information can be found in the arrivals hall. To get to town, there's a choice of rail or road. The City Airport Train (CAT, +43 1 252 50, www.cityairporttrain.com) departs every half hour between 06:06 and 23:36, arriving at S-Bahn station Wien Mitte. The ride takes 16 minutes and costs from 11 for a single trip, and from 17 for a return trip (book online for the best price; reduced rate with the Vienna Card). Its cheaper to take a regular S-Bahn train, departing from the airport to Wien Mitte station approximately every 30 minutes between 04:34 and 00:18; tickets cost 4 and the ride takes about 25 minutes. Vienna Airport Lines buses (tel. +43 1 700 73 23 00, www. viennaairportlines.at) depart every 30 minutes between 05:00 to 23:00, stopping off at U-Bahn Schwedenplatz, the train stations Wien Meidling and Wien Westbahnhof and the Vienna International Center (VIC), taking about 30 minutes. A single ride costs 7, a return trip 12, and tickets can be bought from the driver. Taking a taxi to the centre takes about 15 minutes. If you just hop into a waiting taxi outside, the ride will cost about 45, including the fee for returning to the airport empty; it costs 33 if you mention to the driver or dispatcher that youd like the set price (Pauschaltariff ).
getting around
Car rental
The international car rental companies have offices at the airport as well as on the Ringstrasse near the main hotels. Rentals start from 80 per day.
Public transport
Viennas extensive public transportation system, run by Wiener Linien (Vienna Transport Authority), is an easy and inexpensive way to get around town. The U-Bahn (metro) runs daily from 05:00 to 00:30, and non-stop on Fridays and Saturdays and before public holidays. Suburban S-Bahn trains radiate outwards from the city to the surrounding districts and towns. Trams are the best way to get around the inner city sights, running every 5-15 minutes between 05:00 and 00:30. Buses mostly serve Viennas suburbs and most visitors wont need them though the handy night buses replace the U-Bahn from 00:45 to 05:00 on weekdays. Tickets cost 2,10 for a single ride, though its well worth getting a day ticket if youre planning on using public transport more than a few times. A 24-hour ticket costs 7,10, a 48-hour ticket 12,40 and a 72-hour ticket 15,40. Tickets must be validated before getting on board. Tickets can be purchased from multilingual machines at every U-Bahn station and on buses and trams, though single tickets bought on board cost 2,20 and only coins are accepted. You can also visit the ticket sales offices of Wiener Linien at the Stephansplatz, Karlsplatz, Westbahnhof and Wien Mitte U-Bahn stations. The 72 hour ticket can also be purchased at the Tourist Information Office. Children up to six years old always travel free; children up to 15 ride free on Sundays, holidays and during Viennas school holidays (photo ID required). The Vienna Card costs 19,90 and offers 72 hours of travel on public transport plus more than 200 discounts to museums, concerts, cafs, and more. It can be bought at the Tourist Information Offices or from the Wiener Linien offices.
The City Airport Train connects the city centre (U-Bahn Landstrasse/S-Bahn Wien Mitte) to Vienna International Airport. Trains depart every half hour at :06 and :36 minutes past the hour, from both stations. The ride takes 16 minutes and costs from 11 for a single trip and from 17 for a return trip (1 discount with the Vienna Card); book online for the best rates. The City Air Terminal in the city centre offers travellers the services of an international airport terminal: you can get your boarding pass and check in your baggage up to 75 minutes before departure before travelling to the airport. The City Check-In can only be used with a valid CAT ticket. The complex above the train station includes 130,000m of offices, shops and catering areas as well as the CAT terminal.

Driving & Parking

Parking in central Vienna is expensive; the 20 public garages in the centre charge up to 5 per hour. Street parking tickets (1 per 30 minutes) can be purchased from news agents (Trafiken), the offices of Wiener Linien, many petrol stations, major train stations and by SMS on the A1 mobile network. Day visitors to Vienna are better off using a Park & Ride facility in the outskirts (3 per day) and taking the tram or U-Bahn to the city centre. If you plan to drive on Austrias highways (all A and S roads) youll need a vignette sticker on your windscreen costing 7.90 for 10 days, which can be purchased at petrol stations.

basics
Basic data
Population Austria (2009 estimate): 8,356,707 Vienna: 1,705,080 21,1% of people living in Vienna are foreign nationals, 121,000 of them originating from former Yugoslavia, 41,000 Turks and 28,000 Germans. Area Austria: 83,872 km2 Vienna: 414,90 km2 Official languages German. Slovene, Croatian and Hungarian are officially recognised. Local time Central European (GMT+1hr) Longest river Danube (357,5 km in Austria) Highest mountain Austria: Groglockner 3,798m Vienna: Hermannskogel 542m Borders Austria borders Germany and the Czech Republic to the north, Slovakia and Hungary to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west. Religion Roman Catholic 49,2%; no religion 25,6%; Muslim 7,8%; Orthodox 6%; Protestant (mostly Lutheran) 4,7%; Jewish 0,5%.
Electricity
Austrian electrical current is 220v AC, and the country uses the standard European round, two-pin sockets.
Money & Costs

Austria uses the euro () with banknotes in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500. Coins, whose design depends on in which country they were minted, come in denominations of 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.50, 1 and 2. ATMs can be found everywhere in Vienna and are the best way to get cash. Vienna is not an overly expensive city by Western European standards and competition from nearby cheap countries keeps the price of for instance cigarettes at bay. Viennas status of a social democratic stronghold means that public services such as public transport are relatively cheap.
Vienna is truly the most international city in Austria, if not in all of Central Europe, hosting the regional headquarters of many international enterprises, the UN, OSCE and OPEC. In the central districts you will have no problem communicating in English. Vienna has 23 districts, with the 1st being the city centre, N2-9 wrapped around it and surrounded by the Grtel highway. Districts 10-23 are mainly residential areas. Every district is attractive in its own way and equally important, generally safe for tourists.
Politics
The current mayor of Vienna is Michael Hupl. Since 1917, Vienna has been (co-)governed by the Social Democratic Party with an absolute majority in the city parliament (except from 1934 to 1945 when the party was banned and mayors were appointed by the Austro-fascist and later by Nazi authorities). The Social Democrats currently rule in coalition with the Green Party. Many political experts believe that the rival Austrian People's Party would completely dominate Austrian politics if it weren't for the Social Democrats' unbreakable hold on Vienna. An example of the citys many social democratic policies is the low-cost Gemeindebauten residential estates which house about 25% of the Viennese population.
1. City centre
The city centre literally refers to the very heart of Vienna. In the mid-19th century Viennas old city wall was replaced by the boulevard which in conjunction with the Franz-JosefsKai now forms a ring around the city centre. Magnificent buildings such as the state opera house, the Hofburg, the parliament building, the Vienna city hall, the Burgtheater, the university, the Vienna stock exchange and numerous prestigious buildings line this splendid boulevard. Most 5-star hotels as well as major sights are located here. Tourists will spend most of their time in this area, with everything more or less within walking distance. While Krnterstrasse and Graben are the two major shopping streets in the city centre, Stephansplatz with St. Stephens cathedral is the very centre of Vienna.
Smoking
Officially all restaurants, cafs and other such venues have to provide a non-smoking section. While recently many restaurants turned into smoke-free zones, dont be surprised how smoky many bars and clubs can get. Most traditional coffee houses will have a smoking area.
6, 7. Mariahilferstrasse area
Mariahilferstrasse is known as Central and Eastern Europes most important shopping street. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, hundreds of buses bring shoppers from Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia to Viennas top shopping street to get their Christmas presents. A lot of interesting stores, nice restaurants and relaxed bars are found strolling around the side streets.
Crime & Safety

Vienna is a safe city to visit, and there's little to fear except perhaps for spending too much on food and souvenirs. As elsewhere, avoid dark alleys at night and clutch your wallet or purse when using public transport or in busy places.
2. Prater
The citys largest park stretches from the Praterstern metro and train station towards the Ernst Happel stadium. Next to Praterstern is the Wurstelprater amusement park. Some say its better to avoid this area after dark. Leopoldstadt in Viennas 2nd district used to be the Jewish part of town. Today the jewish community is again growing and you will find kosher bakeries and a number of synagogues.
Tipping
If the service merits it, waiters appreciate a tip of about 10%; at the bar or at the Wrstelstand it's common to round up the sum a little.
7, 8, 9. Grtel area
Grtel is the name of the highway ring that encircles Viennas central districts 1-9. In the zone between Westbahnhof station and the Danube canal, the red-light district has developed into Viennas hottest nightlife spot with dozens of clubs and bars, one after the other. Go and find a bar that fits your taste!
Disabled travellers
Most hotels, restaurants and sights in Vienna are wellequipped for people in wheelchairs or otherwise requiring assistance, and public transport is easy to use with its many escalators, lifts and low-floor trams. The symbols below our hotel reviews which hotels are suitable. The city has an informative site for disabled travellers at www.wien.info/en/ travel-info/accessible-vienna.
Climate
Vienna has warm summers and cold winters with snowfall occurring from December to March. Spring and autumn are cool to mild. It rains or snows 10-15 days per month throughout the year so bring your umbrella.

In addition, the district houses numerous embassies and foreign missions, hence its name the Embassy Quarter.

English Theatres
Owing to a vibrant artistic community of British, Australian and American expats, Vienna boasts a small but active English language theatrical scene. Many of the plays produced in these houses are also targeted at schools, so classes of Austrian students practising their English are relatively common. Seasons are fairly restricted to Shakespeare and the well-trod modern canon (think Tennessee Williams, Oscar Wilde and Neil Simon), but enthusiastically produced.

Cinemas
Unlike most other Europeans, Austrians prefer their films dubbed into German rather than subtitled. Thankfully several cinemas specialise in original language screenings. Keep in mind that seats are assigned and usually vary in price depending on where they are in the theatre. 20 Sept - 12 Jan Matisse and the Fauves Around 150 works by Henri Matisse and the Fauvists. Matisse was the spokesman of the fauves, young artists who were compared with wild animals ("fauves") by art critics at the time.

In the more than 30 years of his career, he has photographed film stars, supermodels and greats of the jazz and music scenes as well as people at scenes of crisis across the globe. Comtes photographic eye is as sharp and alert on the red carpets of film festivals and luxury hotels as among the ruins of war zones in Afghanistan or Bosnia. KU 18 Sept - 19 Jan Michael Neder Without compromises Michael Neder was a sober chronicler of his time. Refraining from producing pleasing images, he depicted his environment as it presented itself to him and today his pictures are precious documents of the past. They show people in inns, merry-making parties at fairs or in taverns, and scenes of everyday life, such as servants performing their chores or winegrowers doing their work. BV

city of CLASSICAL music

Vienna has always been synonymous with music for centuries. Some of the greatest musical figures in history lived and worked in Vienna: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Joseph Haydn, Franz Schubert, Johann Strauss, Gustav Mahler, Arnold Schnberg, Alban Berg to name a few of them. Writing to his father in 1781, Mozart said: Vienna is the best place in the world for my profession. Because of the importance of these musicians the tradition is maintained in Vienna by regular concert events and festivals. Attractive concerts are held every day of the year. But Vienna is also the capital of the waltz. The Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Concert is the most famous classical concert in the world. It takes place every year on 1 January at the Musikverein and always ends with the Blue Danube waltz by Johann Strauss Junior. Another fixed attraction in Austrian musical life is the Vienna Boys Choir, one of the oldest boys' choirs in the world. For nearly five hundred years they have been a symbol of Austria. And, as ever, every Sunday the Vienna Boys' Choir sing solemn mass in Vienna's Hofburg chapel, continuing a tradition unbroken since 1498.

Meet the concierge

Togeth er wi th I n Your Pocket, the citys hotel concierges are important sources of information for travellers. Good concierges will be able to give you restaurant and sightseeing tips, and can book event tickets for you. In this issue, we speak to Simone Nickol, concierge at the Sans Souci Wien Hotel. After highschool, Ms Nickol studied tourism; "The tourism branch always interested me, as you get to meet people from all over the world on a daily basis". She then worked as a receptionist, front office manager and guest relations manager at various upmarket hotels before becoming the Front Office Manager and Clefs dOr concierge at the Sans Souci Wien Hotel. This makes our hotel special... Our hotel is a true hideaway in the middle of the city. Privacy is very important in our small boutique hotel with 63 rooms and suites. Our spa is definitely unique with a size of 450m and a 20-meter luxury pool. Special guests requests... I take all guest demands very seriously, and treat them discreetly. A very nice and personal moment was to be able to help a bride with her gown before the wedding ceremony. Special sights I recommend... Guests often stay for several nights and want a good mix of different locations. We are always happy to recommend our favorites: the Naschmarkt where you can learn about real life in Vienna, the trendy Albertina Passage and the traditional Plachutta Gasthaus zur Oper. Unusual sights I recommend... I'd recommend to stroll through the Naschmarket and to sit one of the many restaurants and bar terraces. In the Museum Quarter, try sitting on the characteristic 'Enzi' chairs before heading to one of the many cafs and restaurants. In the Spittelberg area, shop for the latest trends by emerging young Austrian designers at the many boutiques. Vienna In Your Pocket... The guide is easy to use and lists the best addresses in town and has good maps of the city and the underground network. the Staatsoper is the ideal place for anyone with an eye for comfort and taste. The rooms are comfortably furnished, and the service is high quality. Gourmets and party animals just need to descend to the basement, where theres the Martinjak restaurant and the Platzhirsch club.

Service & Tipping
Many tourists and expats, especially those from countries where it is assumed that customer is king, are perplexed by the oddities of service in Vienna. Attitudes here may range from extremely polite and friendly, to professional but non-committal, to outright arrogant and disrespectful. Locals claim that bad service has always been common, and justify it with cultural differences and low salary levels. Perhaps Viennese waiters simply need to be grumpy. Whatever the reason, it's perfectly normal to make clear if you are not pleased with the service level. The Viennese revere their Stammkunden (repeat customers), and even reserve tables for them without being sure they will show up so if you're turned away from a restaurant or caf with several empty tables marked 'Reserviert', just demand that a table be made available for you. Note that the more upmarket restaurants in Vienna often charge a 'Gedeck' service fee of about 3 per person, which goes some way to compensate for the silverware, bread and butter. Tipping about 10% at restaurants and cafs is expected; not tipping anything is regarded as unacceptable. Rounding up to the next euro is advised for services like taxis.

coffeehouses
Vienna is one of those cities where coffee is much more than just a drink. Many coffee houses in Vienna date back to the 19th century, when there was little private heating, and people used the coffee houses as a second living room, because they could not afford to heat their homes.Unlike some other caf traditions around the world, it is completely normal for a customer to linger alone for hours and study the omnipresent newspapers. Along with coffee, the waiter will serve an obligatory glass of cold tap water and during a long stay will often bring additional water unrequested, with the idea being that you are a guest who should feel welcome and not pressured to leave. Many cafs provide small food dishes like sausages as well as desserts, cakes and tarts, like Apfelstrudel and Linzer Torte. In many classic cafs piano music is played in the evenings and social events like literary readings are held.

Heurigen & Wine bars

Wiener Heurigen
About 2% of Viennas surface is used for vineyards and you can try many of these wines at Heurigen. The word refers to new wine (heuer meaning this year), and by definition a Heurigen is attached to the vineyard which produces the very wine it serves. Traditionally these places would only offer cold cuts to go with the drinks, but today most Heurigen also serve hot food. The best known taverns are located in Grinzing, a suburban village in the hills north of Vienna. The good soil along with the location and climate provide optimal conditions for vineyards plus many thirsty clients can be found nearby too. Note that beer and coffee are not usually served at a Heurigen, it's all about the wine. In the historical vineyards around Vienna, wild vines were already growing in primeval times, and there is evidence of early viticulture as well. Findings show that Vienna has been growing wine since 750 BCE. There are currently about 720 hectares of vineyards within the citys borders, which make Vienna the capital of wine. To get to Grinzing, take bus N38A from th e Heiligenstadt or tram N37 from the Schottentor U-Bahn station.
Nightlife
Of all the wonderful things that Vienna has to offer, nightlife is not the least of them. There is something for everyone in this town, and we mean everyone. From trendy bars to Irish pubs, lounge clubs and underground locations, offering all kinds of nocturnal fun you might be looking for.

Gay Vienna
Calling Vienna the San Francisco of Central Europe would be somewhat of an exaggeration. Neither would a comparison to Amsterdam, Barcelona or Berlin hold up, for that matter. Yet, although gay life in Vienna is quite low-key, things do happen, and for the most part, a live and let live attitude seems to prevail among the locals. The city hosts an annual GLBT Pride Parade on the Ringstrasse, as well as a high-profile international HIV/AIDS charity event known as the Life Ball. As for the gay venues, most are clustered around Naschmarkt in the 4th, 5th and 6th districts, but there are a few others scattered around the city. Austrians arent usually keen on starting conversation with strangers, so dont be shy unless you want to spend the evening by yourself.

Home to the Habsburg monarchy for more than six centuries, the ten major buildings comprising the Hofburg complex represent the splendour and influence of what was once the mightiest empire in Europe. While this has been the site of countless decisive historical events, the sweeping arcaded faade of the Neue Burg earned worldwide notoriety in April of 1938, when Adolf Hitler spoke to a crowd of 200,000 people from its central balcony. Nearly every Austrian monarch has left his (or her) fingerprint on the layout of this palace, resulting in a stylistic mishmash and a wide array of museums. Maps in several languages are posted in the courtyards throughout the complex, but here are the highlights: the Schatzkammer (Imperial Treasury) houses the crown jewels, as well as the nail supposed to have pierced Christs right hand and the so-called Spear of Destiny. If youre into impressive baroque interiors, the reading room of the Nationalbibliothek (National Library) is a highlight. For those with a fascination for sordid

Hundertwasser-Krawinahaus I-2, Kegelgasse 3739, M 1 tram Hetzgasse, tel. +43 1 710 41 16, www. hundertwasserhaus.info. This vibrant and fanciful public housing complex, now an iconic landmark of the work of Austrias own architectural iconoclast, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, regularly tops lists of visitors favourite sights in Vienna. As you can probably tell by the Gaudi-esque shapes and colourful palate, Hundertwasser embraced a playful, environmentally-focused artistic philosophy. He proclaimed that straight lines were godless and immoral, that every building should have as many trees as tenants, that rolling, uneven floors were a divine melody to the feet, and that access to a window was a basic human right. While entering the building is not permitted (it is a private residence for 52 families and 250 trees and shrubs), the Kunsthaus Wien, located just down Untere Weigerberstrae, features a small museum and caf dedicated to this controversial figure.

Wachau Valley
Just an hours drive from Vienna, the majestic Wachau Valley offers an unlikely blend of nature and culture, and is certainly one of Austrias highlights. Between quaint old towns and historic castle ruins along this stretch of the Danube River, the steep, terraced vineyards a Unesco World Heritage Site since 2000 - produce a distinctly Austrian variety of white wine, known by sommeliers around the world for its taste and aroma thanks to the local geology and microclimate. Wine has been produced in the Wachau for centuries, and along with large cooperatives and more prestigious wineries, there are also a number of smaller, old-fashioned vintners here, producing wine like in the old days. When you've seen enough of Vienna and have an extra day or two to spare, hop on a train or a bus and head out to the pristine countryside of Lower Austria where you will enjoy beautiful scenery, marvel at amazing baroque architecture, splurge in well-equipped spas and thermal baths, unwind in cosy cafs and restaurants on cobble-stone streets, and taste the wine from famous century-old wineries of the Wachau Valley. Considering Austria's reliable infrastructure and affordability of bus and train service, you'd have no trouble reaching any of the destinations we recommend here. Schedules can be obtained at the website of Austrian Railways (BB), www.oebb.at. Tickets can be purchased at the railway stations, online, or from the bus driver.

Krems
Just a one-hour ride from Vienna by train, Krems is a delightful, remarkably well-preserved medieval town in the Danube Valley. Its success as the centre of the Danube trading route peaked in the 13th-16th centuries, but the town was plundered during the 30 Year War in the 17th century and never regained its commercial status. Unlike in many other Austrian towns, the 17th-18th century baroque architecture hasnt really taken root in Krems, which explains why the town still charms visitors with its unique medieval character. Start exploring Krems at Landstrae, the citys main pedestrian promenade filled with cafs, restaurants and souvenir shops, then stop by at the Town Hall (Rathaus) and wander around the towns numerous small squares, cobbled streets and narrow alleys. Visit the magnificent Parish Church, one of only a few churches in town with the baroque interior, then continue on to the Dominican Monastery with its museum dedicated to the areas long-standing tradition of winemaking. Krems also has a more modern part, just beyond the Steiner Gate, where the relatively new Danube University adds a younger fresher touch to this otherwise very historic town. Getting there: Hourly trains to Krems/Donau leave from Viennas Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof (Tram D from the Opera House). One-way fare is 13.90.

One of those smaller vintners is Martin Jamek. His small cellar is carved into the hills near the village of Joching. He learned the hard and laborious process of winemaking from childhood and cares for just 4 hectares of land, producing around 8,000 litres per year. Even the grape pressing is done the old-fashioned way, with a big wooden winepress, whose age is estimated to be about 450 years old: No one knows the exact age, the important thing is that it still works. Jamek mainly produces two types of wine using Grner Veltliner and Riesling grapes; the light house wine, and the Smaragd, the finest of the Wachau wines, named after the Emerald lizards that live on the terraces.

It is this magnificent monastery that attracts thousands of tourists to the quiet town of Melk every year. Although monks have lived here for over 900 years, the abbey was completely rebuilt in 1732 and has since undergone several further renovations, the most recent one was completed in 2000.

jewish vienna
There are few cities in Europe where the Jewish population has been so deeply ingrained, yet has experienced such devastation during the persistent waves of anti-semitism and in World War II, as Vienna. The historical, political and economic contribution of the Jewish community into this city's past and present can hardly be underestimated. It would suffice to say that three of four Nobel Prize Winners from Austria were Jewish, as were luminaries such as the father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, writers Arthur Schnitzler and Stefan Zweig, composers Gustav Mahler and Emmerich Kalman, and the founder of modern Zionist movement Theodore Herzl. issue an official statement acknowledging their role in the Third Reich. Meanwhile, the Jewish population of Vienna has been growing since 1950s, primarily due to immigration from Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and Iran. Today it stands at about 14,000 people, with nearly 8,000 of them members of the Jewish religious community. Vienna has fifteen synagogues, a few Jewish schools, several kosher stores and restaurants and a number of Jewish newspapers and magazines.

The first mention of Jews settling in Vienna is from the 12th century. By 1420 Jews comprised about 5% of the city's population, but under Duke Albrecht V they were expelled from the city, their property confiscated, and many were brutally murdered in Erdberg outside Vienna. Later in the 15th century they were allowed to return and establish their own colony in Leopoldstadt, today the city's second district. The community thrived and lived in relative peace and prosperity until the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, who in early 18th century introduced some laws that substantially worsened the situation of the Jews. The laws were later repealed by her son, Emperor Joseph II. Jewish religious life was centered around two main synagogues. Leading politicians in Vienna, particularly of the Social Democratic Party, were Jewish, and they did all they could to alleviate the growing right-wing sentiments among the city's population at the turn of the century. Schools and theaters opened, and the first Jewish Museum in the world was founded in Vienna in 1895.
Anti-semitism, World War II and the Holocaust

As the Jews progressed in Viennese economic, social and political life, anti-semitic feelings were formented by many of Vienna's public officials and politicians, one of the most radical of them being Dr. Karl Lueger, Vienna's mayor from 1897 to 1910. Early in the 20th century, twenty-one members of the extremely anti-semitic All-Deutsche Partei were elected into the Austrian parliament; one of the early supporters of this party was Adolf Hitler, who later wrote that people like Karl Lueger had greatly influenced his views. On 12 March 1938 Hitler marched into Vienna and held a speech from the balcony of the Hofburg Palace, kicking off the most tragic period for the Jewish community. Aryan laws were soon enacted; Jews were deprived of their civil rights, were not permitted to own land or hold public office. On Kristallnacht, 9 November 1938, angry residents driven by the Nazi party torched Jewish businesses and synagogues. About 6,000 Jews were apprehended and sent to the camp at Dachau that day. Following the Wannsee Conference of 1942, Jews were stripped of their citizenship and mass deportations to concentration camps ensued. The Jewish community in Austria which had counted over 200,000 in 1938, was all but decimated. More than 130,000 Jews were forced to leave the country and about 65,000 were murdered. Less than 1,000 Jews survived the catastrophe.
The Sigmund Freud Museum

Berggasse 19 in Viennas ninth district has become one of the worlds most famous addresses: Here is where Sigmund Freud lived and worked for 47 years until he was driven into exile in 1938. Pioneering works such as The Interpretation of Dreams were written in the study. In these rooms, the Sigmund Freud Museum presents an exhibition documenting the life and work of the founder of psychoanalysis with unique film material depicting the Freud family and original objects and furniture from Freuds belongings.

Freud in Vienna
Sigmund Freud, one of Viennas most prominent Jewish intellectuals, lived and worked at Berggasse 19 between 1859 and 1938. He's now recognized as the founder of modern psychology, but when he was in Vienna, Freud's career as a researcher and theorist was heavily marked by confrontation and opposition due to the strong anti-Semitic attitude in Viennese politics and society. Consequently, Freud did not enjoy much local recognition for his work on psychoanalysis, which was held in low regard and labelled as a 'Jewish science', and his career at the University of Vienna stagnated crumbled. After the annexation of Austria in 1938 he fled to London, but despite the constant ostracism he experienced in Vienna, he always longed for his former home.
The Jewish community today

It took Austrian society almost fifty years to come to terms with their less than glamorous role in the Holocaust. Traces of anti-semitism continued to be popular until the 1980s, and can still be felt to this day. Not until 1991 did the government finally

Behind the faade of Viennas imperial opulence, you might wonder if there is any space left for simple down-to-earth family fun in this city. Thankfully, Viennas once notorious coldness to children is now definitely a thing of the past, and opportunities abound for year-round outdoor entertainment, festivals, concerts, street fairs, as well as museums, theatres and other creative activities where both kids and their parents can feel comfortable and welcome. You can explore the fascinating blend of gadgets and robots at the Technical Museum (Technisches Museum Wien), challenge your kids imagination at the interactive scientific exhibit of the Zoom Childrens Museum (Zoom Kindermuseum) or visit the worlds oldest zoo in Schnbrunn. There is ample choice of things to do, for the whole family. When it comes to shopping, the Vienna scene really runs the gamut from large fashion chains to small boutiques, from designer labels to offbeat artisans. The sheer variety of retailers merits an extended shopping tour, but for those with something more specific in mind, weve got a few recommendations on where to start.
