Vienna

Austria

Vienna is the capital, most populous city, and one of the nine states of Austria. It is Austria's primate city, with just over two million inhabitants. Its larger metropolitan area has a population of nearly 2.9 million, representing nearly one-third of the country's population. Vienna is the cultural, economic, and political centre of the country, the fifth-largest city by population in the European Union, and the most populous of the cities on the river Danube.

Oùcécap’s take

Vienna is an easy target from Paris, due east at 89°, and from London, east at 101°, 1,235 km away. From New York, however, a flat map would say 83°, east, and the compass 50°, north-east. A nearby landmark: Bratislava, also on the Danube, is only 56 km to the east. And much further east, Ulaanbaatar lies on the same latitude.
