History
What started as a tiny village along the Wien river
has blossomed into one of the world’s great cities, the
10th largest in the European Union and one of the most
important in modern history. This is Vienna.
ANTIQUITY
Vienna was founded around 500 years before the arrival
of JC himself, and by 15BC it had developed into a Roman
frontier city called Vindobona. It had the thankless task of
protecting the Roman Empire from marauding German
tribes. It did a pretty good job, all things considering.

City of Classical Music
Vienna has always been synonymous with music.
Some of the greatest musical figures in history lived and
worked in Vienna: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig
van Beethoven, Joseph Haydn, Franz Schubert, Johann
Strauss, Gustav Mahler, Arnold Schönberg, Alban Berg
to name a few of them. Writing to his father in 1781,
Mozart said: “Vienna is the best place in the world for
my profession.” Because of the importance of these
musicians the tradition is maintained in Vienna by
regular concert events and festivals. Attractive concerts
are held every day of the year. But Vienna is also the
capital of the waltz. The Vienna Philharmonic’s New
Year’s Concert is the most famous classical concert in
the world. It takes place every year on 1 January at the
Musikverein and always ends with the Blue Danube
waltz by Johann Strauss Junior. Another fixed attraction
in Austrian musical life is the Vienna Boys Choir, one
of the oldest boys’ choirs in the world. For nearly five
hundred years they have been a symbol of Austria. And,
as ever, every Sunday the Vienna Boys’ Choir sing solemn
mass in Vienna’s Hofburg chapel, continuing a tradition
unbroken since 1498.

HUNDERTWASSER-KRAWINAHAUS
This vibrant and fanciful public housing complex, now an
iconic landmark of the work of Austria’s own architectural
iconoclast, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, regularly tops lists
of visitors’ favourite sights in Vienna. As you can probably
tell by the Gaudi-esque shapes and colourful palate,
Hundertwasser embraced a playful, environmentally-
focused artistic philosophy. He proclaimed that straight
lines were “godless and immoral,” that every building
should have as many trees as tenants, that rolling, uneven
floors were “a divine melody to the feet,” and that access
to a window was a basic human right. While entering the
building is not permitted (it is a private residence for 52
families and 250 trees and shrubs), the Kunsthaus Wien,
located just down Untere Weißgerberstraße, features a
small museum and café dedicated to this controversial eBook
figure.QI‑2, Kegelgasse 37-39, M1 tram Hetzgasse, tel.
