About Vienna

Known as the City of Music, it is the center of classical music and the birthplace of many famous composers, such as Strauss and Schubert. Although such composers as Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn were not born in Vienna, they spent much of their lives there, composing the most celebrated works and enriching Vienna’s musical heritage.

While Vienna is mostly celebrated for its classical music, elegant architecture, and stunning cityscape, not many know that Vienna is home to the world’s oldest still-operating zoo.
