An the constellation of Europe's great centers of culture, Vienna is first of all a city of worldly charm and eternal renewal. Throughout its history, whether as capital of the Holy Roman Empire under the Habsburg dynasty, or as catalyst of international relations after the fall of Napoleon, or as a center of advanced intellectual thought toward the end of the nineteenth century, or indeed in the splendors of its legendary cuisine and coffeehouses, Vienna has maintained the highest standards of civilized humanity and grace.
