Car Hire Vienna

Home to the Hapsburgs and hub of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austrian capital of Vienna is bursting with history and charm. Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven and Strauss all flourished in Vienna and their memory lives on all around the city. Attend a performance at the Vienna State Opera or the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, surely a unique experience in a city so paramount to the world of music. While in Vienna, tour the Belvedere Palace, former home to Franz Ferdinand, as well as Hofburg, the Imperial Palace. Don't miss Hofbibliothek, considered one of the finest Baroque libraries in the world. Vienna is a city famous for its tortes, and perfect for any sweet tooth.
