Austrian capital Vienna has attracted 47,465 visitors from India in the first 10 months of 2016, accounting for 1,02,701 overnight stays.
"Vienna got an overwhelming response from travellers from India exceeding the target of 1,00,000 overnight stays for 2016 by Indian tourists in just 10 months," Vienna Tourist Board Public Relations Manage Isabella Rauter said in a statement.
Indians love to stroll around the city, "with half its metro area dotted with 2,000 green spaces, 850 parks and 400 species of rose, perhaps unmatched by any other city in the world", she added.
For the entire 2015, there were 89,628 total overnight stays from India.
"Tourists from India accounted for 1,02,701 overnight stays between January and October 2016, each visitor clocking an average of 2.16 nights," Vienna Tourist Board (VTB) said.
A direct Delhi-Vienna flight by Air India also contributed to more Indians visiting the Austrian capital, it added.
Set up in 1955, Vienna Tourism Board is the official destination marketing agency for Vienna.
