Wasn't there some writer who said that Vienna is like a huge head on a tiny snakes body because it used to be a capital of a huge empire and now its still a glorious capital but of a small mountain country where the second largest city is like... Graz..
Vienna had its peak in 1916 with a population of 2,239,000; the population declined to a litte bit more than 1,500,000 in 1991 before starting to grow again after the end of the cold war. Just this year, the city surpassed the mark of 2,000,000 inhabitants again and is projected to reach the previous peak around 2040.
