Vienna is packed with imperial history. Vienna is also one the most musical cities in the world.
Vienna hosted the Habsburg court for several centuries, first as the Imperial seat of the Holy Roman Empire, then the capital of the Austrian Empire, and later of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which finally fell in 1918 with the official abdication of the last Emperor Karl I. The court tremendous influenced the culture that exists here even today.
No other city has been home to so many composers of international success. Some, such as Schubert, Strauss, Schoenberg and Berg, were born in Vienna, Whilst others, including Mozart, Beethoven and Mahler, chose to make it their home.
