A stroll by the Danube in the morning, a pause for cake at Café Central, a peaceful afternoon with Rembrandt at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, a twilight wander through the gardens of Schönbrunn Palace, and a nighttime panorama of the city from the giant Riesenrad ferris wheel. Just another day in Vienna. We’ll explore this endlessly fascinating city from the early Christian Votivkirche buried beneath cobblestone streets, to the soaring spire of the Stephansdom, 446 feet above the city. Roman ruins and contemporary art installations, opera and oom-pah bands–every day in Vienna offers new encounters with the rich culture, history, and art of this imperial city. A side trip through the Austrian Alps and Bavaria will immerse students in rural Austrian village life, as well as European historical landmarks. If you are looking to finish up your German minor, complete an internship, or fulfill GE requirements, please come spend summer with us in Vienna!
