    The Old Town Hall is now a city museum, which exhibits a lot of Bratislava's history and cultural relics. It is said that the four bells on the tower can still ring. The various parts of this building come from different eras.

    As someone who is a history buff, to visit the Museum of Military History in Vienna is definitely on the bucket list not just while I was in Austria, but for my travels around the world. What it represents is not just a mere footnote of military history, but the very foundation of the modern world we live in.Most of us would know that the First World War began with the assassination of Austria’s Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian nationalist. And that shot changed the world. The physical remnant of that shot, which is Franz Ferdinand’s uniform with the blood stains on it, lays in this very Museum of Military History in Vienna. To see it in person with my own eyes was a truly powerful moment.Of course, there are a lot of other artefacts to see, which was also of great interest to me as I have interest in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, which was a great power in the 18th and 19th centuries. You can see the evolution of military equipment over time, from the era of Napoleon to the First World War.The best part? It is so affordable at only 3,50€, so much more affordable than the other museums and palaces of Vienna!#austria #vienna #history

    One of the oldest theme parks in Europe. Home to 2 Ferris wheels. The first of which was built before the war. Lots of variation of rides. The park looks amazing when it is lit up in the evening.

    Mozart's former residence is a very typical and good place. The interior and exterior styles of the former residence are also very good. Mozart's character is also very special. It is quite simple to visit here. You can see a lot of introductions about Mozart's character and historical content.

    Vienna was founded in 500 AD. As the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, its architectural features are distinct. There are still many Baroque and Gothic style buildings. It is worth recommending to everyone to visit.

    Excellent, mainly minerals, fossils, and specimens. There's a rich variety of minerals, I think there are thousands of them, and they're beautiful. It's right across from the Kunsthistorisches Museum, so you can explore both together; the structures are identical.

    Very nice experience except the long queue at entry.15 euro the adult ticket after 5.30pm (instead of 21,90 euro), so try to get used to the thought there will be a lot of people inside Haus Des Meeres after that time

    The zoo very close to one of the must visit tourist spot at Vienna. Our initial was to visit the Panda, who knows there are more to explore example: Polar beer, King Penguin, Orang Utan, and Elephant.... The entire zoo was interesting and well maintained.
