Vienna

Some informations about Vienna:
 "Vienna is the capital and largest city of Austria and one of the nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's primary city, with a population of about 1.723 million, and is by far the largest city in Austria, as well as its culturai, economic, and political centre.  In 2001, the city centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Vienna is often said to be "The City of Dreams" because it was home to psychologist Professor Sigmund Freud. Its roots lie in early Celtic and Roman settlements that transformed into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The city is well known for playing an essential role as a leading European Music Centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. The Historic centre of Vienna is rich in architectural ensembles, including Baroque castles and gardens, as well as the late-19th-century Ringstrasse lined with grand buildings, monuments and parks."
