It
may have meant nothing to Midge Ure (cue gratuitous Ultravox
reference), but Vienna is the mother lode of all things cultural.
The grandiose city was the showpiece of the all-conquering Habsburg
dynasty, which controlled much of Europe for over 600 years.
Despite the ravages of time, its cultural gems endure: monumental
edifices line the city centre, world-class museums burst with
historical and artistic treasures, and internationally established
orchestras perform in lavish concert halls.
From the
detritus of a collapsed empire and the chaotic rubble of WWII,
the Viennese have built a vibrant modern city with enviable
economic clout. And with its newfound panache and verve the
city has a lot more to offer than those Habsburg has-beens,
warbling choir boys and prancing gee-gees.
