The country of Austria consists of nine states; one of them being Vienna. In addition to being one of the nine states Vienna is also the capital of Austria. So when it comes to this country, Vienna is the place to be. It is easily the biggest city in the entire country, and also has the highest population. The city of Vienna is the home to nearly 1.6 million people. And with all of these people comes a variety of cultures, beliefs, and religions. This makes Vienna one of the most fully diverse cities in the area.
If you are thinking about traveling to Vienna you need to know where it is at first. A lot of people have no clue where Austria is, but the fact of the matter is that it is quite easy to find. Austria is in Central Europe, and is close to countries such as Hungary and Slovakia. This makes it very easy for the people of Vienna to move in and out of their country with ease. Again, this helps to ensure the absolute diversity of this area of Central Europe.
You can have a lot of fun in Vienna if you know what you are doing. Vienna may not be the most popular destination for vacationers, but it definitely has a lot to offer. The culture in Vienna is unlike anything else in the area, and this is what draws in tourists time and time again. The city has a long history of diverse cultures. And if you like the arts you are in the right city. The theaters of Vienna are considered to be among the best in the world, and this is especially true when it comes to the Burgtheater; this is one of the biggest attractions in the entire city among tourists. In addition to the theaters you will also want to save time to visit the museums that are home to some of the great pieces of art in the world. As you can see Vienna is full of culture.
The weather in Vienna is typical of Central Europe. As a tourist you can visit Vienna during anytime of the year, but your best option would probably be during the months of June through August. During the summer months the weather is usually dry, and the temperature holds steady around 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. During winter months the temperatures in the area can drop into the lower 30s making it a bit cold to enjoy your vacation to the area.
To get in and out of Vienna your best bet is the Vienna International Airport. Year in and year out this airport sends out and lands over 230,000 flights. This makes the Vienna International Airport one of the best in all of Central Europe.
The tourism industry in Vienna is holding steady. It may not be as great as other European cities, but Vienna does have a lot to offer. If you are interested in culture and the arts, Vienna is a city that you would fall in love with in no time.
So, Vienna has been voted 2nd (tied with Geneva) this year by the Mercer company(click here for the link). Everything in Vienna is VERY VERY clean. I swear that you could practically eat off the ground. Every night, or at least close to every night, the street cleaners come around with their huge equipment to clean the heck out of the streets. Also, another thing about Vienna is that there is lots of older people. The special quality about the older people here in Vienna is that they are very grumpy (I guess). If you don't get up 1 second after they ask for a seat on the UBahn (the city trains) or the Strassenbahn (the trams or streetcars) they will start to beat you with anything they have (canes, bags, arms, legs). They're VICIOUS!!!!!!!!! Other than that, Vienna is a perfect city.
So now that we have an apartment t0 live in, we get to go to Ikea! I've always liked to go to Ikea because I know I always get a good lunch out of it (also because I'm half Swedish). We bought the usual things: a desk, a couch, and some other small items. Days here in Vienna are pretty normal, its not like everyday something crazy happens. Actually, one day we heard this weird noise outside of our apartment, and when we went to go see what it was we saw a huge parade. I think they were fighting to gain rights and not be part of this other county. I have a video of it, ill try to put it up sometime.
We arrived tired and craving sleep. I suddenly remembered that they spoke German here in Austria and panicked, not realizing my mother spoke German fluently. We picked up our rental car and were on our way. The annoying thing about moving is that we had to find a new apartment, unpack all our stuff from massive brown boxes, and get situated. That took us a little time (4 months i think). As we toured around Vienna a little bit, I thought to myself how cool it was to be living in a city with amazing architecture and amazing museums and buildings (and to think that a teenager actually admitted it was cool to look at museums :p). I was pretty lucky to be here. The public transportation is great, so we decided to not have a car. I would really recommend to come and visit Vienna, even if you stay for a week you will be amazed.

I was suddenly woken up at around 5 in the morning and I knew it was time. We started to pack up our car to go to the airport. As we left the neighborhood we came to know and love, our best friends waved goodbye. The airport was as lively as could be. As soon as we loaded our luggage and checked in, we went to go wait and watch the planes fly past. I couldn't have been more excited (and nervous) that day at the airport. To think we got to start a new life and meet new people.
