Of the country's nine states, Vienna is the smallest in area, but the largest in population. Modern Vienna has undergone several historical incarnations. From 1558 to 1918 it was an imperial city — until 1806 the seat of the Holy Roman Empire and then the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1918, it became the capital of the truncated, landlocked central European country that emerged from World War I as a republic. From 1938 to 1945, Austria was part of Adolf Hitler's “Greater“ Germany, and Vienna became “Greater“ Vienna, reflecting the Nazi revision of the city's boundaries. In the decade following World War II, Austria was occupied by British, French, American and Soviet forces, and Vienna was divided into five zones, including an international zone, covering the Innere Stadt (“Inner City“) . In 1955, the State Treaty, by which the country regained its independence, was signed with the four occupying powers, and Vienna once again became the capital of a sovereign Austria. Vienna is among the least pampered of the great old Western European capitals. Its central hub, the Innere Stadt, is easily managed on foot and by public transport. In a city renowned for its architecture, many of Vienna's urban outlooks remain largely as designed over several centuries by imperial gardeners and architects. The skyline is still dominated by the spire of St. Stephen's Cathedral and the giant wheel in the city's main park, the Prater. The city suffered great damage in the last months of World War II, and much reconstruction was done after the war. However, the character of Vienna as a whole remains much the same as in the years before 1914. Viennese Lebenskunst (“the art of living“) has survived the changes of rulers and times. In Vienna it is still possible to live at almost the same pace and in almost the same style as a century ago. The same music is played in the same reconstructed concert halls, and a successful theater or opera still stimulates lively conversation. One can drink the same sour local wines in the taverns on the edge of town, eat the same mountains of whipped cream at Sacher's and Demel's, and taste the same infinite varieties of coffee in countless cafes. Thick wool suits and coats in shades of green, gray or brown loden cloth and colorful dirndl dresses can still be seen. It is even possible for tourists, and others on festive occasions, to ride in a traditional fiacre, the two-horse carriage driven by a coachman wearing a bowler hat. Austria's capital has avoided many of the problems — financial crises, social unrest, urban decay — that plague other European cities. Its people enjoy an enlightened health and welfare system that dates back to the reforms of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Joseph II in the 18th century. A city of green parks with ponds, cafes and bands playing; opulent shops and elegant shopping streets; crowded banks, bookstores, and theaters; and boulevards for leisurely strolls—Vienna is a refreshing distillation of human energy and imagination. #vienna #austria #travel #beautifulcity #citytour #tourism
