There are so many aspects that make Vienna a desirable place to visit, from the stunning Schönbrunn Palace, to its imperial and contemporary art and famous Viennese coffee.

Helena Hartlauer, Vienna Tourist Board says “We are honoured to have been voted the world’s most liveable city in this prestigious report. This city continues to act as the beating heart of European culture, an accolade which is set to expand in years to come. It remains, and always has been a very special place to visit, dine, explore and enjoy, whilst being on British travellers’ doorstep”.
