VienneAvec nearly 1.7 million inhabitants, Vienna is the largest city in Austria. Located east of the lanky country, the city is bisected by the Danube, Europe's second largest river. Thanks to him, the trade could quickly develop between western and eastern Europe, but also between the Balkans and northern Europe, making Vienna a trade hub.
