EURO 2008 INFO

Vienna is the capital of Austria, and also one of the nine States of Austria. Vienna is Austria's primate city; with a population of about 1.6 million (2.2 million within the metro area), Vienna is by far the largest city in Austria as well as its cultural, economic and political centre. Vienna lies in the south-eastern corner of Central Europe and is close to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.

St. Stephen’s Cathedral is the main catholic church in Vienna and dates back to the 11th century. Its ancient Roman towers and amazing architectural design are simply breathtaking and must be seen in person to truly experience the significance of the Cathedral in relationship to the city. It’s a symbol of where the city has been and the layers of change it has gone through.

In June 2008, Vienna will be one of the host cities for the EURO 2008. Ernst-Happel Stadion, which has been recognized by UEFA as a five star venue, will host 6 matches for the Euro, including a semi final and the final.
