City

Vienna

The German native name Wien is pronounced [vi:n].
Also Known As Wien
Western Europe

Vienna lies on the Danube at the eastern edge of the Alps, where the river passes from the mountains into the Pannonian plain, a gateway position between western and eastern Europe that shaped its long role as an imperial capital. The modern city of about two million people spreads across both banks, with the historic core on the right bank ringed by the boulevard that replaced its walls.
