Vienna in Full Glory – A Day with Royal Halls, Sacred Silence & Golden Books

Vienna swept me off my feet with its elegance, and this day was the highlight of my whole trip 🇦🇹✨

📌 First Stop: St. Stephen’s Cathedral
The moment I stepped inside, it felt like time froze. The gothic ceilings, the echo of quiet prayers, and the grandeur of centuries-old architecture were simply humbling. Climbing the South Tower? Totally worth it for that panoramic city view!

📚 Austrian National Library
This place is every book lover’s dream! The State Hall looks like it came straight out of a fairytale — gold details, marble statues, and that heavenly smell of old books. I stood there for minutes just staring at the ceiling.

🏰 Schönbrunn Palace
Walking through the palace gardens felt like a royal daydream. I took the audio guide tour inside the palace and could almost picture the Habsburgs in those lavish rooms. Don’t miss the Gloriette viewpoint at sunset!

💡 My Tips:
• Book Schönbrunn tickets in advance to avoid long queues
• Go early to St. Stephen’s to enjoy quiet moments
• Take your time at the library — it’s more than just books
