Austria's World Heritage Library

Located in Vienna, Austria, this library is one of the city's most famous tourist attractions and is even registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The interior resembles a palace, boasting an aesthetic that feels more like an art museum than a library. While the admission fee might seem a bit pricey, this is a must-visit spot if you're traveling to Vienna! 📍 Austrian National Library (Österreichische Nationalbibliothek) Address: Josefsplatz 1, 1015 Wien, Austria Tickets: €10 Among the library's many features, the "Prunksaal" (State Hall) stands out as particularly famous. This massive hall has an astonishing ceiling height of 20 meters, making it hard to believe it's part of a library. Bookshelves are arranged across two levels, the first and second floors, with each shelf clearly numbered. The library houses over 200,000 books, each of which is considered a valuable historical artifact. While visitors cannot handle the books directly, some are displayed in cases for viewing. This destination is highly recommended not only for book lovers but also for those interested in architecture and history. The suggested visit duration is about 30 minutes, making it a perfect spot to take a moment and reflect on history.
