Getting to know Vienna, a stately city known as much for its imperial history and culture as for its modern international role, will take more than one session, also. There are more than 80 museums, 28 theaters, antique stores, markets and international shops, the opera, the symphony, the philharmonic, jazz, rock, disco, and the Vienna Boy's Choir, the Danube and the beautiful Vienna Woods, the Prater for jogging, biking, riding and its amusement park, the world-famous Spanish Riding School, churches, palaces, and Sacher Torte!

Annual festivals such as the Spring Festival (April), the Summer Film Festival (July, August) in front of Vienna's City Hall and the Vienna Festival (May) are famous all over the world.
