Vienna

2,000 years
of European history,
in one city



 
International


Jaw-jaw beats war-war, hands down


Due to its location (and its neutrality) Vienna is a hub for a host of international organizations and since 1979 the location of the 4th headquarters (photo) of the United Nations (with New York, Geneva and Nairobi). It is also home to one of the most prominent of the UN bodies: the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).


In 2005 the IAEA and its then Director General Mohamed Elbaradei were awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace for "their work for a safer and more peaceful world."

And hazard in the
