This bastion of art, architecture, and cafe culture is one of the grandest cities in Europe, and the birthplace of psychoanalysis. Vienna is also synonymous with classical music (think Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms) and is the home of the Vienna State Opera, one of the world’s top three opera houses. Vienna is a treasure trove of architectural masterpieces including the Hofburg Imperial Palace, home of the Lipizzaner stallions; and St. Stephen’s Cathedral, a monumental Gothic church with an iconic tiled roof. No trip to Vienna is complete without visiting a cafe, such as Vienna institution Cafe Central, a favorite of Freud.
