Home city to an impressive selection of gentlemen, from Sigmund Freud to our good friend Christoph Waltz, the beautiful city of Vienna has proven itself to be a breeding ground for some of the world’s greatest creatives. It also inspired works by Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn.
An impressive cultural resume by any standard, and one which has helped earn Vienna the title of ‘Most Liveable City in the World’, as bestowed by the Economist — an award granted by taking into account factors also including stability, healthcare and the environment. For a depressing point of reference, London ranked 48th and New York 57th.
