Vienna the Capital of Music ─ Beauty of Architecture‧音樂之都 - 維也納 ─ 建築之美

I love everything in ancient Greek style, including this building with 4 ancient Greek-like statutes as pillars. The location is near Volkstheater metro station.


Austrian Parliament Building, was built between 1894 to 1883 in Greek architectural style with an implcication of antique Greece as the "cradle of democracy"


The Athena Fountain in front of the building is a notable tourist attraction.


St. Peter's Church is believed built in the early Middle Age, probably the oldest church in Vienna.


Does the McDonald at this hundreds-year-old taste better?


The erection of the Pestsäule took 14 years and involved several designers with different preference. It was finally completed in baroque scene.


Unknown beautiful buildings.

Vienna the Capital of Music ─ St Stephan's Cathedral‧音樂之都 - 維也納 ─ 聖史蒂芬大教堂

St Stephan's Cathedral is a symbol of Vienna for centuries. Similar to many existing historical buildings, it was built in Gothic style.



The Cathedral is located in the major shopping area of Vienna, surrounded by numbers of shops.


Because of heavy traffic, street performer is attracted to deliver a show here.


Also. there are many concert sales in traditional costumes. If you say you know English, they will show you a portfolio of the concert hall and show they work for. If you don't want to be disturbed, simply shake your head or hand and they will let you go. Among all of the opera houses in town, The Vienna State Opera is the most reputable while the Großer saal (金色大廳) is the most luxurious.
