Vienna - the Gourgeous Capital |
Once the center of the great empire, Vienna still retains its majestic air
and can alone reserve your whole trip with the list of sightseeings
and attractions to see. In
our article we'll try and give you a glimpse of this great world
capital's most popular places of interest.
As
Vienna once was the seat of the Habsburgs royal dynasty, there is a
considerable number of palaces and mansions that used to serve as
residences for the family at this or that time.
Among
them we can't but mention the Hofburg with its 22 museums including the
Kaiser Apartments and the Sisi Museum, the National Library and the
Royal Chapel where masses are sung by the celebrated Vienna Boy's
Choir, the Spanish Riding School still preserving the classical
traditions of dressage... The Imperial Palace has a treat to
everyone's liking. Leaving the Hofburg, go to the Heldenplatz
ranking among the city's most beautiful squares.
One location you'll
find on every list of sightseeings and attractions is the Belvedere
palace complex. Museums of the two glorious rococo-style mansions can
boast housing great art collections and many of the rooms are
marvelously preserved till nowadays.
