Paris and Vienna are two of the greatest cities in Europe for travelers to go to.  They both have their special appeal.  In some ways they are similar, in some ways they are different.  Both Vienna and Paris are special.  However, what are the differences between the two?  You might want to see in order to plan your next tour to Europe.
