The Most Beautiful Library in the World: Austrian National Library

The Austrian National Library in Vienna is said to be the model for the library in Beauty and the Beast. It is located in a corner of the Hofburg Palace, making it easily accessible. The sight of the heavy wooden bookshelves filled with books is breathtaking. There are also plenty of panels explaining the history, making it a worthwhile visit. However, you cannot touch or borrow the books. You can only enjoy the beautiful building. Due to its popularity on Instagram, there is a long line shortly after opening hours. The interior is not very large, so it is recommended to visit early at the opening. There is an admission fee, but the satisfaction level is high. There is also a student discount, so don't forget your student ID! Be sure to check it out o(^▽^)o
