Vienna (Wien) is simultaneously Austria’s capital city and its own federal state (Bundesland), the largest city in the country with approximately 2 million inhabitants. As a state-level destination it provides the regional context for Vienna City, where the full travel content lives. The state boundary matters for visitors navigating the Lower Austrian day trip destinations: Klosterneuburg, Baden bei Wien, and the Wachau are officially in Lower Austria, even when reached by public transport from the city center. For all practical travel planning, see the Vienna City entry.

Vienna
Vienna is both a city and a Bundesland, one of three city-states in Austria alongside Vienna-as-a-state, which is to say it governs itself without a surrounding state structure. As a state-level entry in the RA destination hierarchy, it serves as the parent for Vienna City (the full city content lives there).
