Residents of Dull, Perthshire, invited to visit Austrian capital
It's part of a new campaign to prove that Vienna isn't 'Dull'
The residents of the small Perthshire village, Dull, are set to be invited to visit the Austrian capital.
Representatives from the Vienna Tourist Board will visit the village this weekend to hand deliver wax sealed invitations and goodie bags.
Residents unable to make the trip will still receive gifts on their doorstep.
Those living in the village, with a population of around 100 people, that are able to make the journey will stay at Hotel Imperial which previously hosted Queen Elizabeth II and The Rolling Stones.
They will each receive a tailormade itinerary based on their interests, which could include tours of museums, an invitation to the Vienna Ball of Sciences and ice skating at the Vienna Ice Dream.
It's part of a campaign to prove the Austrian capital isn't 'Dull' with the residents of the village set to be the judges.
The village is twinned with Boring, Oregon.
Norbert Kettner, CEO of the Vienna Tourist Board, said: “We’re proud of our museums, our concerts, our balls and our winter magic - but we also enjoy a good sense of humour. January is often considered the dullest month of the calendar, which is exactly why we wanted to bring Dull to Vienna.
"It’s the perfect opportunity to show how vibrant this season can truly be. We hope many residents will join us, and we’re eager to hear their expert judgement. "
