In awe by Sharrie
VIENNA: The most fascinating city in Europe. Why?
The world's most famous classical musicians were all from here!
Wolfgang Amadeus MOZART (1756-91), Joseph HAYDN (1732-1809), Franz SCHUBERT (1797-1828), Gustav MAHLER (1860-1911), Johann STRAUSS the Elder (1804-49) & Johann STRAUSS Junior (1825-1899) (Austrian King of Waltz).
Impressed?
I was when I visited this artistic city - a very refined and cultured city of music and arts. Vienna flourished in the 18th century and the Hapsburgs was so cultured and rich that a half-day visit to its museum and Treasury (Hofburg Palace) leaves one in awe!
Uhhhhh! What a city! I am thoroughly impressed with everything and every site in Austria. There are so many things to see and do that a week is too short: most beautiful churches, imperial Baroque style palaces and magnificent collection of paintings simply too wonderful to describe. You should see them in person, this is one city I am willing to explore for months...
