The “City of Music” was the workplace of such notable composer as Schubert, Strauss, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms…the list (and Liszt) goes on, but it is also known as the “City of Dreams”, thanks to its role as Sigmund Freud’s home. The capital of Austria is regularly ranked as one of the world’s most livable cities. Buildings, gardens, and parks make the city a popular destination for architectural hobbyists as well as those coming for its rich art scene. The city centre is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, but also sits on the ‘World Heritage in Danger’ list due to strains from urbanisation and tourism.
Students attending the Vienna field trip might capture some of their cultural experiences for an Art stamp in their London Passport, or consider the city’s ‘World Heritage in Danger’ status for a Sustainability reflection.
