About Vienna
Austria's capital on the Danube, the former seat of the Habsburg empire. Its position on the Cold War's dividing line made it a bridge to Eastern Europe.
Population about 2,200,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Vienna is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
