Once home to the world-revered Imperial Court and emperor Franz Josef himself, Vienna today blends modern conveniences and renowned cultural events with a strong connection to this opulent past. Medieval lanes wind through buildings and architectural styles spanning centuries, many of which survived 14th Century disasters, wars, and fires to stand proudly today. Music and art too find a welcome home here.

The picturesque city of Salzburg, nestled at the foot of the Austrian Alps, offers students a tranquil setting in which to explore a wide range of historical, artistic, and cultural achievements of the past centuries. Most famous as the birthplace of Mozart, this city maintains today the rich musical tradition begun nearly 250 years ago.
