Welcome to Vienna

Willkommen in Wien - IFU

As the federal capital of Austria Vienna can provide a high quality of life. Many people who live, study, migrate or visit the city can confirm that.

Even though Vienna may seem a little frantic at first glance, living in Vienna offers many possibilities to forget the everyday life and to have some fun. In various coffee houses and bars, at the “Heuriger” (a tavern selling homegrown wine), at festivals or parties – the inhabitants and visitors of this vivid city will always find something interesting for yourself. Sporty people and those who are looking for some rest will be pleased with several parks and green spaces. Plus, Vienna is one of the safest cities in the world (if there should still happen something, here are the emergency numbers: 122 – fire service; 133 – police; 144 – ambulance).
