It’s not called the City of Music for nothing. Venture into the capital city of Austria and experience the magical musical heritage of Vienna. Both Mozart and Beethoven resided in the city for a time, composing some of the great work we still play and love today. Even if classical music isn’t really your thing, you’ll be greeted in this European hot spot by delicious fine dining, galleries of contemporary art, and museums around every bend. Spend your days wandering through the cobblestone streets, visiting colourful markets, or take a road trip to the countryside. The best way to experience all this Austrian city has to offer is by renting a car in Vienna.
