Arts & Culture (Overview)

The vaunted gemutlichkeit of Vienna consists of many elements, but the city is best known for its art and culture. Take your pick: art, architecture, music, literature—Vienna lays claim to being home to some of the best in the world, and you can soak it in at prices ranging from free to exorbitant.

A program of events is issued by the Vienna Tourist Board. The three-language Wiener Wochenspiegel is a private sheet that is on sale all over town. Vienna Life and Danube Weekly are lively on entertainment subjects and general lore. All are reliable.
