Vienna’s old-world roots are giving way to new-world business and nightlife, says Friederike Heine

Having established itself as a hub for the booming East-West business, the Austrian capital is a popular business venue not only for its convenient location, but also because of its tight-knit network of financial institutions and specialists such as lawyers, tax advisers and consultants. Lawyers hardened to the locals’ cultural superiority will enjoy the capital for its efficient approach to business, as well as its undeniably rich cultural history.
