During the past year, tourism media regularly noted the fact that the Austrian capital is climbing higher in the rating of the most popular European destinations. The natural result of the emerging trend: Vienna set a new record for the total flow of travelers.

From January to December 2013, city hoteliers noted 12, 7 million overnights - this is 3, 7% higher than the year before. "The fact that we were able to significantly exceed last year's result allows us to speak not only of Vienna's growing attractiveness in the eyes of the world community, but also of the effectiveness of our policies," concluded Norbert Kettner, director of the Vienna Office of Tourism.

Recall that more recently, Vienna was described as the new capital of luxury rest: five-star hotels and boutiques of fashion brands are opened one by one in the city.
