The heart of Vienna is the Innerestadt,the area that lay within the city walls until they were demolished in the mid-nineteenth century.It is here that some of Vienna's most popular tourist attractions can ben found,along with pedestrianised streets, and countless shops,cafes,bars and restaurants.
The centre point is the Graben / literally,moat/
a wide square lined with shops and pavement cafes under large umbrellas.
Following the demolition of the city walls in 1857,the Ringstrasse was laid out some of Vienns's
most beatiful buildings were built along it between 1858 and 1865. Among the most important are the Saatsoper State Opera House,,Museum of the Fine Arts, National History Museum, Parliament,City Hall and Burgtheater. Karlskirch,the historic homes of Schubert and Gluck .
Vienna is also famous for its coffee houses. There are many different types of cafe as well as an amazing of cakes and pastries. Cafes Demel,
and Hotel Sacher are famous for the Sachertorte,which is a chocolate cake with a layer of apricot jam.
See picture:
The Vienna State Opera House puts on no less than 33 operas during its season. Of course there's what is probably the world's most famous event at which to be seen, the Vienna Opera Ball. When a city names Mozart, Mahler, Bruckner, The Strauss', and Schonberg among its native so it is difficult not to encounter music everywhere you listen
When the Turks invalved Austria they introduced an epidemic. The average Austrian now drinks more than 200 liters of caffee a year and Vienna has hundreds of coffee shops from the traditional Kaffehaus, offering games and good spirits to the more refined Cafe Konditorei with its cakes and pastries.
