For centuries, Vienna was the star at the center of Central Europe. By the time the Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrated in 1918, it had also become a hotbed for the avant-garde. Explore the city’s rich cultural legacy, from Imperial palaces to modernist structures; from Old Masters to the provocative canvases of Schiele and Klimt; from fin de-siècle cafés to the couch used by Freud. This trip devotes special attention to Vienna’s storied musical heritage, with visits to the homes of great composers and a a live performance of Schubert’s Winterreisse and/or another prestigious classical music venues. This study trip has been designed to complement ES-HI 3006, but is open and accessible to anyone intent on discovering this beautiful historical capital.
