Visit this city on the beautiful Danube river, famous for Strauss, the Schonbrunn Palace, St. Stephan Cathedral, Jugend style, Sacher cake, Maria Theresa, the Archduchess regnant of Austria and mother of Marie Antoinette who later became the Queen to Louis XVI of France and eternal K&K schmeck... Whether you are visiting Vienna on business or just travelling as a tourist, this remarkable city can always offer you more, from walks through the city center (Die Innere Stadt) or Vienna woods (Wienerwald) to sailing down the Danube on a restaurant–ship. One of the most renowned cultural events is Opernball, taking place in the State Opera in February every year. You can choose among visiting museums, galleries and castles or learning how to ride in The Spanish Riding School, a traditional riding school for Lipizzaner horses. Do not forget to see the Schonbrunn Palace, a summer residence of the Habsburgs and the Hofburg residence of Emperor Francis Joseph and Empress Elizabeth, who is affectionately known as Sisi among the Austrians. Another landmark not to be missed is the Jewish Museum and the memorial in remembrance of the persecution of the Jews. Vienna is the city of music, with one of the finest orchestras in the world, the Vienna Philharmonic, and the city where Sigmund Freud studied medicine and started the "talking cure", a method widely seen as the basis of psychoanalysis.
