Vienna Two-Day Tour
We rented a car from Budapest to Vienna, transitioning from a developing country to a developed one. Hungary feels a bit like our 1990s, while Vienna's living standards and infrastructure are comparable to Paris.
Notes: Many shops and restaurants are closed on Sundays, including the State Opera House and the Golden Hall, so plan your time accordingly.
Food: Near the Opera House, there is a highly-rated Chinese restaurant called Juli Chinese Kitchen, just a three-minute walk away. There's also a stir-fry buffet called Wok & More, which has good reviews. Vienna offers a variety of international cuisines, and even the small Italian cafes you find on the street have their own unique charm.
Clothing: Vienna is situated between Prague and Budapest, so the weather is slightly warmer than in Prague.
Upon arriving in Vienna, we rushed to the State Opera House to watch the opera Tosca. While formal attire is not required, many people dress very formally.
Must-see attractions in Vienna: The National Library, Albertina Museum, Sisi Museum, St. Stephen's Cathedral, Stadtpark, Vienna Museum, Golden Hall, and the State Opera House are all close to each other and can be visited on foot. Schönbrunn Palace is in the suburbs and can be reached by subway or taxi. Only a small portion of its over 1,600 rooms are open to the public. The gardens are great for a stroll, and there's a maze that kids will enjoy; we spent at least an hour in a few of the mazes.
We rented a car to Hallstatt, which is a three-hour drive from Vienna. Known as a postcard dropped by God, it is one of the most beautiful towns. The scenery along the way is pleasant, with snow-capped mountains, meadows, and cottages, offering a tranquil and secluded atmosphere like a paradise. The town is nestled between mountains and water and was once a silver mining area. It became famous after being featured on the cover of a travel magazine. Any photo taken from any angle can be used as a postcard. Mozart's hometown, Salzburg, is an hour and a half drive from Hallstatt and has a history of over a thousand years. Major attractions include Mirabell Palace, Mozart's Birthplace, Salzburg Square, and Hohensalzburg Fortress.
Very gorgeous and unearthly concert hall, the performers are very level, and they also interact with the audience. I think it is worth feeling scared if you understand or don't understand classical music. Note that the actual performance time is 8:15 to 10:00 pm. Entering at 7:15 only starts. It is good that everyone sends Mozart CD 1 only for memory.
A performance with more highlights in the Vienna trip, Mozart Headset Orchestra is enough for tourists like me to appreciate, in fact, it is not as unbearable as others say, it is very interesting~
Vienna has many concert halls, and the golden hall is familiar to the Chinese. In the local people, the top stream is the Vienna State Opera House, one of the world's largest large opera houses, known as the "World Opera Center", here tonight, listening to Mozart's concert, the atmosphere is so good, the applause has been endless, the hands have been patted pain [breaking tears for laughter] more than 1,000 people on the scene, We sat in the second row and the conductor finally threw the baton to my child, wonderful night [laughs]
The Chinese love the golden hall, come on!
Very good experience
Experience it is not bad
Great trip, super convenient to buy tickets
