VIENNA - where the streets are paved with culture

The International Folk - Dance Festival “VIENNA FESTIVAL DAYS” will be held for the 7th time in Vienna, Austria during the period from 30th March till 01st of April 2019.

Vienna, city of culture, city of music, city of art, romantically imperial city!

Vienna is referred to by many as a unique onion, with each of the urban layers surrounding the oldest historic center being equally important to the overall flavor of the city. The Austrian capital therefore embraces all the traditions of a European city, from Roman foundations through to Gothic, Baroque and Historicism. Tourists are eager to visit Vienna because of the city's exciting combination of the royal-imperial flair of the past with the latest trends, the responsible cultivation of a precious heritage and charming traditions. But much more than old buildings turn Vienna into a city of beauty: one also finds excellent museums, fine art collections and world-renowned works of art in the city.
