VIKING DESTINATIONS Top 25 2 VIENNA, AUSTRIA With a picturesque capital set against the backdrop of the Danube River, Austria is famous for its castles and palaces, while offering cultural delights worthy of former residents Mozart and Strauss. Vienna's imperial grandeur is the legacy of the powerful Hapsburg monarchy. Baroque streetscapes and artistic and musical masterpieces combined with a coffee-house culture and vibrant epicurean scene are not to be missed. 1 BARCELONA, SPAIN Barcelona is a stunning seaside city, home to architectural treasures that span more than 2,000 years. Throughout its history, Barcelona has welcomed various cultures and civilisations, which have left their mark on the city, from the first Iberian settlers, through the Roman colonisers, the Visigoths, and the emergence of the Middle Ages. Today, Barcelona's city scape is a wish-list for lovers of architecture - towering temple columns, ancient city walls and subterranean stone corridors, tranquil plazas and stunning 14th-century cathedrals. Most famous however are the sculptural masterpieces of Modernism and the creations of Antoni Gaudí. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we are proud of what we have achieved in the last 25 years.
