Conferences in Vienna are very popular, since many scientists and their partners and families enjoy the opportunity of an interesting conference to (re-) visit the city.
Vienna has many very famous tourist attractions and museums, including outstanding collections of painters like Klimt, Schiele and Breughel, to name a few. Vienna also has a very active scene in classical music, and offers a very rich summer program.
