Even though Vienna is and has always been a city full of different cultures and customs, it still has kept its original traditions which date back to the last centuries of the city’s history. Visitors can experience rural traditions, such as enjoying dinner in one of the many wine taverns next to the unique Viennese vineyards, but can also admire the modern part of the city and hosts one of the four world’s United Nations Offices.

This is one of the city’s areas where also nature can be experienced at its best, taking a walk at the banks of the Danube River admiring the view to the Vienna Woods and vineyard hills. Vienna is the greenest metropolis worldwide when it comes to the amount of green spaces such as the parks and many gardens.

Many people travel to Vienna year by year, not only for leisure reasons but there is also a huge number of business travellers, attending international congresses and meetings, incentives or team buildings which all come along with the unique experience of diversity in culture, attractions, activities and places this city has to offer.
