Vienna universally stands for quality of life and is recognised as one of the most liveable cities in the world.

Few other cities in Europe can offer a wealth of artistic and cultural masterpieces comparable to that of Vienna. Many landmarks such as St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Schoenbrunn Palace and the Imperial Palace were built under the Austro Hungarian monarchy and house countless famous art treasures.  The Museum Quarter is one of the ten largest art districts worldwide, holding some of the finest collections, including priceless works by Klimt and Schiele.  

Likewise, in recent years Vienna has re-invented itself as a more dynamic, youth-oriented city. The steady trend towards gourmet restaurants, a booming bar and pub scene, recreational attractions such as the Danube Island and events such as the New Year’s Eve Trail are attracting a steadily increasing number of younger visitors.

Alltogether, it’s no wonder that Vienna is not only a sought-after place to live, but has also ranked among the top European cities in nights spent by foreign guests for many years.

Last but not least, Vienna’s image is shaped by its architectural heritage.  Arising today alongside earlier standard-setting innovations such as the Worker’s Union Complex, the Karl Marx Hof or the Friedrich-Engels Hof are new projects such as the Gasometer City, the Wienerberg City and the Harry Seidler Highrise. Only in Vienna do the world’s best architects go beyond planning concert halls, museums and government buildings – Zaha Hadid, Jean Novel and Coop Himmelblau livable, people-oriented residential projects.
