Jet Privato da Parigi a Vienna

Vienna occupies a singular position in European culture. As seat of the Habsburg Empire for over six centuries, the city accumulated artistic treasures, architectural magnificence, and cultural institutions that rival any capital on the continent. For Parisians—themselves inhabitants of one of civilization's great cities—Vienna represents something specific: a parallel grandeur, Germanic rather than Gallic, with its own claims to being Europe's cultural center.

The 1,030-kilometer corridor between Paris and Vienna carries travelers engaged with high culture, classical music, and the particular pleasures of Viennese society: the opera, the coffeehouses, the ball season, and an approach to elegance that maintains traditions Paris has sometimes abandoned. For business travelers, Vienna serves as the gateway to Central Europe and a significant financial center in its own right.
