Austrian National Library

As the central academic library of the Republic of Austria, the Austrian National Library has a long history, with its traditions dating back to the 14th century. It serves as a living bridge connecting the rich heritage of the past with the future-oriented needs of the modern information society. The Austrian National Library carries on the legacy of the Habsburg court library, comprising eight departments that preserve a significant portion of the world's documentary heritage and bear the responsibility of continuing to protect these treasures. Its collections of ancient, medieval, and modern manuscripts span diverse cultural fields and hold immense international significance. Additionally, the library houses music manuscripts, early printed books and rare texts, historical maps, portraits and other pictorial documents, posters, bookplates, pamphlets, as well as the equally important literary estates of Austrian writers. Four museums under the library's management showcase to the public the world's unique collection of historical globes, an impressive Esperanto collection, and a comprehensive archive of Austrian literature. Since 2018, the Austrian National Library has also operated the House of Austrian History, a museum dedicated to presenting modern historical events with a particular focus on Austria's history since 1918. The Baroque-style State Hall was built between 1723 and 1726, designed by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, and is hailed as one of the world's most impressive libraries, regularly hosting special exhibitions. The Austrian National Library aims to open its doors to as wide a readership as possible. To achieve this goal, the library regularly holds exhibitions to raise public awareness of its collections and collaborates with other cultural and educational institutions to organize activities such as reading sessions, book launches, seminars and concerts. Through these activities, the Austrian National Library not only fulfills its statutory educational responsibilities but also demonstrates its unique position as a multicultural education center. All staff at the Austrian National Library are committed to ensuring that all tasks are completed quickly and properly. We always adhere to the service philosophy of professionalism, enthusiasm, and attentiveness in welcoming visitors from around the world. We strive to create an engaging library world for our visitors, where historical heritage, modern architecture, and collections spanning the past and present blend seamlessly with library traditions and modern technology, complementing each other perfectly.Austria · Vienna

Vienna Operahouse

The Vienna Operahouse is located next to Vienna's Ringstrasse and is one of the earlier landmark buildings completed along this boulevard. In 1869, it opened its premiere with Mozart's "Don Giovanni," attended by Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth. The theater's performance tradition can be traced back to the 17th-century court opera in the Hofburg Palace. After the imperial era ended, it became state-owned and acquired its current name. This neo-Renaissance-style building was designed by architects Sicardsburg and Van der Nüll, though neither lived to see its completion. The opera house interior has many highlights: the marble-clad foyer and grand staircase are magnificent, the lounge preserves murals painted by artist Moritz von Schwind, and the horseshoe-shaped multi-tiered auditorium with standing room can accommodate over 2,000 spectators. In 1945, the theater caught fire during an air raid, nearly destroying the auditorium and stage, though the foyer, grand staircase, and murals survived. During postwar reconstruction to its original design, extensive wood was used to optimize acoustics, and it reopened in 1955 with Beethoven's "Fidelio." Maher, Richard Strauss, Karajan, Abbado and other masters have conducted here. Some rules established by Maher are still followed today, such as latecomers having to wait until the intermission to enter after the performance begins. The theater still maintains a repertoire rotation system, with dozens of operas and ballets staged in rotation during a performance season, offering almost nightly performances that rarely repeat. The musicians of the Vienna Philharmonic are selected from the theater's orchestra. During the carnival season, the venue transforms into a dance floor for the Vienna Opera Ball. Even without attending a performance, you can join the theater's guided tour, walking from the main staircase to the lounge and auditorium, savoring the architectural and mural details. If you haven't secured a seat in advance but still wish to experience an opera, try the long-standing tradition of standing tickets, which are sold in limited quantity before the show—popular productions may require early arrival to queue. Whichever way you choose to enter, you'll genuinely feel the daily life of this music capital intertwined with opera.Austria · Vienna

The Parliament Building in Budapest, the most dazzling landmark on the Danube. The neo-Gothic spires and reliefs sculpt the daytime, while at night, the dazzling lights and reflections on the river create a breathtaking spectacle!

Hofburg Palace is one of Vienna's most iconic attractions, showcasing the grandeur of the former imperial residence of the Habsburg dynasty. The palace complex is vast, with beautifully preserved architecture, elegant courtyards, and fascinating museums that offer a glimpse into Austria's royal history. The Imperial Apartments, Sisi Museum, and the Imperial Silver Collection are particularly worth visiting, each telling a different part of the empire's story. Walking through the palace feels like stepping back in time, with every room reflecting the luxury and sophistication of imperial life. The surrounding area is equally impressive, with charming streets, cafés, and historic buildings that make it easy to spend several hours exploring. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, or royal heritage, Hofburg Palace provides an enriching experience and is undoubtedly one of the highlights of any trip to Vienna.

Easily the most beautiful library in Europe and possibly the world. It is very historical and was built hundreds of years ago. Do not miss out this gem.

The moment you step into the circular hall, the crystal chandeliers and marble columns transport you back to the Habsburg era. The resident orchestra perfectly balanced the warmth of the strings and the brilliance of the brass in the overture, and the conductor's masterful control of tempo made "The Flames of Revenge" both dramatic and classically refined. The performance was professional, powerful, and absolutely fantastic!
