Vienna is among Europe’s fastest-growing cities, and with more than 1.9 million inhabitants it is the second-biggest city in the German-speaking world. In 2019 the city was named the world’s most livable city for the tenth time in a row by Mercer.
Vienna owes its universal appeal to the way it excitingly combines imperial nostalgia with a highly creative cultural scene, responsibly cultivating a precious heritage and charming traditions whilst taking on board the latest trends. Architecture dating from imperial times has left an indelible mark on the city.
