Despite its small size, Austria has several beautiful cities that offer a variety of historic and cultural attractions. With almost sixty percent of the country covered by the Alps alone, many of these cities are set within stunning surroundings of white-capped peaks. The largest are situated along the shores of major waterways like the Danube, making them prime destinations along European river cruises as you can see in the Map of Austria with cities. Near the Slovenian border in southern Austria, Klagenfurt (also known as Klagenfurt am Wörthersee) is a small city that began as a modest market town. Alte Platz runs through the city oldest section and is a beautiful pedestrian zone lined with Baroque buildings, including the Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall) and Haus zur Goldenen Gans (Golden Goose).

The city of Vienna has a rich history which is traced back to 500 BC when it was inhabited by the Celts. The city was later occupied by Romans who fortified it in 15 BC and named it Vindobona. Jewish historian, Josephus offers the earliest mention of the city in his records where he states that Herod Archelaus, the king of Judea, was banished to Vienna by Caesar. Vienna experienced tremendous growth in the 15th century after which it became the de facto capital of the Holy Roman Empire (see the Capital of Austria map). During the early 19th century Napoleonic Wars, the Austrian Empire chose Vienna as the capital city. During the Second World War, Austria was invaded by Nazi-Germany led by Austrian-born Adolf Hitler. However, the Soviet Army combined with the American and British air forces drove the Nazis from Vienna.
In 1804, during the Napoleonic wars, Vienna became the capital of the Austrian Empire and continued to play a major role in European and world politics, including hosting the 1814 Congress of Vienna. After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, Vienna remained the capital of what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire as its mentioned in the Capital of Austria map. The city was a centre of classical music, for which the title of the First Viennese School is sometimes applied. During the latter half of the 19th century, the city developed what had previously been the bastions and glacis into the Ringstraße, a new boulevard surrounding the historical town and a major prestige project. Former suburbs were incorporated, and the city of Vienna grew dramatically. In 1918, after World War I, Vienna became capital of the First Austrian Republic. From the late 19th century to 1938, the city remained a centre of high culture and modernism. A world capital of music, the city played host to composers such as Brahms, Bruckner, Mahler and Richard Strauss.
In 1938, after a triumphant entry into Austria, Adolf Hitler spoke to the Austrian people from the balcony of the Neue Burg, a part of the Hofburg at the Heldenplatz. Between 1938 (see Anschluss) and the end of the Second World War, Vienna lost its status as a capital to Berlin. On 2 April 1945, the Soviets launched the Vienna Offensive against the Germans holding the city and besieged it. British and American air raids and artillery duels between the Wehrmacht and the Red Army crippled infrastructure, such as tram services and water and power distribution, and destroyed or damaged thousands of public and private buildings. Vienna fell eleven days later. Austria was separated from Germany, and Vienna was restored as the republic capital city as you can see in the Capital of Austria map.
