Vienna
Imperial palaces, perfect coffee, and the world's finest concert halls
Vienna wears its imperial heritage with extraordinary grace. The Ringstrasse boulevard is one of the grandest urban sequences in Europe. The coffee house culture, where you can sit for hours with a single Melange, is UNESCO-listed. And the concentration of art, music, and architecture within the first district is almost unreasonable: the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the Staatsoper, the Belvedere, all within walking distance.
