Vienna in my mind

In this tiny land of mountain sports and quaint vistas lies a complex history of war, art and royalty, which includes the infamous Habsburg Empire and California’s newest monarch, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. At the hub of it all is Vienna, a city built on pillars of architectures, artwork and music. In a country famed on its tradition, Vienna brings a progressive, modern flare to a traditional past.

Vienna is a museum that’s intended to teach its onlookers a thing about the past while requesting you pass through with indoor voices. Encircled by the Danube Canal and a system of boulevards called the Ring, Vienna’s beauty unfolds within its display of European history — whether that be one of its many architectural innovations sprinkled throughout the city or several music halls where composers like Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn once waved their batons.

This is Vienna, Austria in my mind.
