Vienna contradicts itself like no other city!  On one hand it is the epitome of old world charm and elegance and then all at once it is modern as can be. Wonderful baroque buildings from it's imperial past stand close to new skyscrapers designed by the world's leading architects.  If this sounds like other cities it's not, because in Vienna they have done it so well and with impeccable taste. If this were not enough of a reason to come here there are others. During the winter months all the culture you could ever hope for is available and be sure to check out the Opera House.  It is one of the finest in Europe.  In the summer it is a special experience to bike along the Danube and watch the ever changing cast of characters frolicking in the river.  There are wonderful restaurants and of course, Vienna is noted for its pastries.  They're well worth  the calories! To be sure, this is a city for all seasons.
