Geographical influences

The ancient city of Vienna, with a rich history in the arts and world-famous architecture, is found in north-east Austria. It’s to the east of the Alps and gets much less snowfall than Austrian towns in the west and south. Vienna’s on the banks of the Danube River and is too far inland to suffer from cold sea breezes in winter.
