Vienna, the home of Gustav Klimt, is Austria's exquisite art and science capital, with a population of nearly 2 million. Every trip has never-before-seen attractions, museums, unvisited parks, and new delicacies. There are more than a hundred museums alone. Since 2001, the old city of Vienna has been a part of UNESCO Cultural Heritage.

In the middle part of the city are magnificent monuments of Austrian history, the incredible Gothic-Modern Hofburg Palace, and the monumental Stephansdom. The most striking sight of the Michaelerplatz square is the Church of St. Michael, where Mozart's requiem was first heard many years ago, and the mask on his face at that time is still preserved. Tourists can listen to organ music for free in the Peterskirche. Also, a must-see in Vienna is the design and modern exhibitions of young authors in various locations of the famous Museum Quarter. A significant artistic event is the Austrian international exhibition of contemporary art, Viennacontemporary, held annually in the Marx Halle.

The University of Vienna is also the most significant and oldest in the modern German-speaking world. It was founded in 1365 and was known mainly for its medical school. The reasons for the strengths of medicine in Vienna go back a long way. Famous personalities worked in the city. Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis, the father of hand washing, and Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. Franz Schuh, the first performer of pericardial puncture, and surgeon Theodor Billroth, the founder of asepsis, complete the impressive list of outstanding talents in Vienna. In 1871, the Wiener Private Clinic Vienna was founded, where the masters of Viennese medicine were studied. Numerous Nobel laureates received awards for experimental research on the function of the vestibular apparatus, the treatment of progressive paralysis, and the group's discovery. In 1967, the Dobling Private Hospital Vienna opened, serving more than 14,000 patients yearly. Today, the Medical University of Vienna has about 8,000 students and is one of the largest medical schools in the German-speaking region.

The quality of art, architecture, science, and medicine determines specific Viennese standards for the future of the city and the entire country. Vienna is a charming city for walking and an inspiration for discovery. The high bar in everything is a powerful lever for new achievements and honoring traditions.
