A Habsburg administrative capital whose distinctive profile — authors, academics, conductors, painters — reflects centuries of the state churning out civil servants and churchmen rather than courtiers. Richard Tauber sang his way out of the opera pit here, and Parov Stelar built electroswing from the same Danube-side streets the city has spent eighty years learning to talk honestly about.
