With stunning architecture around every corner, a high quality of life and a legacy of beauty left behind by the many artistic minds that have called this vibrant city home, moving to Vienna may be one of the best choices you'll ever make. Across the 23 boroughs (Bezirke), migrants from a range of countries have chosen to settle in Vienna and the borough you choose may depend on your workplace; just look at our guides for more detailed information. Common employment opportunities for expats include the service industry, tertiary sector, agricultural industry, media industry and of course a busy tourist industry. To make job hunting easier, Vienna is even equipped with a center for expats to offer advice. You'll have plenty of culture to enjoy at the Schönbrunn Palace, Belvedere Palace and museum, the prestigious Viennese Opera house, the Naturhistorisches Museum and the MuseumsQuartier; host to numerous art museums and annual arts event in the summer.
