Vienna

Austrian capital city

Vienna is the capital and largest city of Austria, located on the Danube River in Central Europe.

The city is associated with classical music—Mozart, Beethoven, and Strauss all worked there—and with ornate coffeehouses, pastries, and the waltz.

Vienna sausages are small, mild frankfurters, typically canned.

A Vienna roast is a light-medium coffee roast.
