we’ve got a soundtrack for you. We’ve

grodorna
(
The Little Frogs)
,
Campanas
de belen

Spain, and
Viva La!

harmonious backdrop to Christmas Day

el Sheikh. You can have a listen to our

Have a ball
Cinderella, eat your heart
out: since 1970, Vienna’s
movers and shakers
have seen the New Year
in at the Kaiserball in
Hofburg Palace, former
imperial residence of
the Habsburg family.
Now renamed Le Grand
Bal, it’s the most lavish
way to greet midnight.
