Capital of Austria
Vienna, situated in the heart of Europe, but not only famous for its culture, palaces, wine, and the Spanish Riding School. Did you know it was General Patton/USA who saved those lovely horses in WW II from being retained by former Jugoslavia? This picture and more about this story can be seen at the Riding-School museum.
