Austria

Vienna lies in the far east of Austria, just one hour away from the border with Slovenia, and sits on the banks of the mighty Danube.

Vienna can definitively claim to be a world home of museums, housing a staggering collection of 153 museums and that’s not including the numerous palaces, monuments and statues that there are to see.The city houses one of the most concentrated collection of museums and largest cultural spacesi in the world.

During the official ball season (between November and June), over 300 take place and there are plenty to choose from over the rest of the year.

Vienna is full of many shopping treasures. Its historic centre, completely encircled by the Ringstrasse, is small and easily walk-able and the fantastically efficient public transport means that you will never have need for a car.
