Culture and traditions Austria

 Traditions and customs

A very important spiritual and economic force in this very Catholic country, the Austrian church receives 1% of each citizen's revenue. If you refuse, you run the risk of not being buried in sacred ground. Certain customs connected to religion still persist today, such as giving a cream cake during Easter Week.

music Works by the greatest composers were composed in Vienna: Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Haydn, Mahler, Strauss, the status of the world capital of classical music extends to the street corners and places in the city where improvised concerts abound. Not going to an opera concert while there is unthinkable. The capital of the waltz, each year Vienna gives the famous New Year concert, which inevitably ends withRadetzky March and The Blue Danube. More than 250 balls are organised each year in the Austrian capital. The most high-class of all remains the Vienna Opera Ball.
