Vienna’s reputation as a scientific and medical centre of Europe stems back to 1365 – the foundation year of the University of Vienna. In the middle of the 19th century this city was home to many talented surgeons, scientists and inventors, whose work greatly influenced the formation of urology as a speciality.

If you are visiting Vienna, do not miss the opportunity to explore its “urological” past and visit some of its beautiful sites and museums. From the Old General Hospital to the Federal Museum of Pathological Anatomy and the Endoscopy Museum, there are few cities that can match Vienna’s heritage of medical history.
