Stories about Austria
Visiting Vienna’s most star-studded address
I'm in Vienna and I’ve just laid a rose on Beethoven’s grave. I feel slightly embarrassed, like a groupie.

Now a new generation of entrepreneurs and immigrants is reinventing the city’s beloved icons. As the missing link between German efficiency and the southern European love of life, can the city shake off its enduring nostalgia?
