Vienna, the capital and largest city of Austria, is home to over two million people, making up nearly one-third of the country’s population.

It serves as the cultural, economic, and political hub of the nation. Known as the “City of Music” for its rich musical heritage, Vienna was the home of iconic composers like Beethoven and Mozart. The city is also referred to as the “City of Dreams,” as it was where Sigmund Freud, the world’s first psychoanalyst, lived and worked. Vienna’s history dates back to Celtic and Roman times, evolving into a significant Medieval and Baroque city. Throughout the centuries, it has remained a key European music centre, from the era of Viennese Classicism through the early 20th century.
