The beautiful environment and attractive scenery have contributed to giving Vienna the title of 'The Goddess of Danube'. The magnificent Vienna Forest is located in the west of the Alpine foothills and the east overlooks the sparkling Danube River and the snowy Carpathian Mountains. Schonbrunn Palace which is the former summer residence of the Habsburgs is Vienna's most popular tourist attraction. The architecture and breathtaking gardens are well worth stumbling into few other tourists.
