Vienna celebrates Mozart
Who is the most (in)famous Austrian in this world? Gustav Klimt, Sigmund Freud, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Lise Meitner, Arnold Schwarzenegger, adolf hitler and Niki Lauder, among others would probably come to mind.

Okay, okay, the country did produce a lot of famous people. Today, however, I am only referring to the most famous Austrian for the culture vultures and music buffs - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart because 2006 marks the 250th birthday of Mozart.

It's the perfect time to visit Vienna as the whole city (country, even) is abuzz with activities -- festivals, concerts, operas and exhibitions -- celebrating Mozart and his legacy.

For the complete Mozart experience, why not book "Mozart waits for you" or "Amadeus de luxe" package for a musical discovery journey with Arts & Delights.

"Mozart waits for you" package is available until the 28th of December. For €100 per person (dbl occupancy) you get 2 nights in a 3 to 5 start hotel, a ticket to a Mozart concert, admission to the Mozarthaus Vienna or the Mozart exhibition at the Albertina. Should you want to extend, you can do so for only €35 per person. You can book this package here.

A more luxurious option would be the "Amadeus de luxe" package, which is available until the end of December, 2006. The premium package includes an overnight stay in a 4 to 5 star hotel, an admission to the Mozarthaus Vienna, a welcome cocktail and Mozart gift. Cost is €135 per person (dbl occupancy). de luxe package can be booked here.

Not really keen on walking a lot? No problem. You can also discover Vienna while you comfortably stand on your Segway Human Transporter, a self-balancing electric scooter for use in pedestrian areas.

Hop on the plane and visit Vienna this year as they celebrate the genius of Mozart.
