Berlin marks the 25th anniversary of its restoration as the capital of a unified Germany in 2015. But another European city is also marking a milestone – Vienna (wien.info) will be celebrating 150 years of the Ringstrasse. This noble 3.3-mile promenade, which encircles the centre of the Austrian capital, was officially opened in May 1865, replacing the city's obsolete medieval walls. Now it plays host to landmarks such as the Kunsthistorisches Museum (00 43 1 5252 45202; khm.at; €14/£11) – one of the world's great art galleries, home to works by Raphael, Vermeer, Rubens and Titian.
