Vienna (Wien), Austria 維也納

Vienna is the Capital of Austria and "City of Music" and was the capitol of Holy Roman Empire (1278), the Austrian Empire (1806) and the Austro-Hungarian Empire (1867). Until the beginning of the 20th century it was the largest German-speaking city in the world, and today it is the second only to Berlin in German speakers. At beginning of Austria-Hungary, Johann Strauss II created the most famous Austrian waltz "The Blue Danube". The city center was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
維也納是奧地利首都和“音樂之都”，是神聖羅馬帝國（1278年起）、奧地利帝國（1806年起）和奧匈帝國（1867年起）的首都。20世紀之前, 它是德語圈最大的城市，今天它是德語圈第二大城市，僅次於柏林。第一次世界大戰以前, 奧匈帝國是領域曾遍及除德意志以外的中東歐大部分地區。 帝國建立時，Johann Strauss II 創作了奧地利最出名的圓舞曲《藍色多瑙河》, 維也納有「多瑙河的女神」之美譽, 據說有了此曲之後，多瑙河兩岸的人們才驀然發現，原來多瑙河是「藍色的」。其市中心古城區被列為世界遺產。
We first visited the Schönbrunn Palace (UNESCO World Heritage Site), built by Maria Theresa, also known as "beautiful fountain". Sisi had lived in the palace when she came to Vienna. We continued to Parliament House and new Town Hall. At night we went to Vienna Musikverein Golden Hall (金色大廳) for a musical performance.
我們抵達後首先前往由女皇Maria Theresa所建成的Schönbrunn皇宮(世界文化遺產), 因宮御花園有美麗的噴泉, 故亦稱"美泉宮"。在宮中有許多茜茜公主(Sisi)的留下的痕跡。隨後參觀國會大廈、新市政廳、國家歌劇院。晚上去"金色大廳"聽音樂。
