I am currently spending the next days on vacation in Vienna, Austria with my bestie.
It is a beyond beautiful place with >1000 years of history and cultural diversity.
We will spend plenty of artsy museum time beginning tomorrow, all topped with fantastic coffee and Sacher cake until we die, but day 1 today had priority on feeding the insatiable hunger of the hopeless booknerds that we are and our fixation on the written word.
We went to the Hofburg and the Grand Hall of the Austrian National Library!
*sigh*
The stairs...no books in sight yet, but still already a beautiful scenery...17th century palace...
Then, on the 1st floor, the doors open to this...and we're instantly breathless...
Books, books, books...and since back then books and art were inseparable, looking up to the ceiling gives heavy Sistine chapel vibes with amazing frescos everywhere...
So, you're in Europe? You like architecture, arts and books? This is one of your go-to places!!!
