So, it also has a lot of international relevance also, this city. Because of the pandemic, Austria is currently in a state of partial lockdown. So, most places are closed completely. We cannot go inside the museums.Cannot go inside... even restaurants are closed from inside. So, we'll be looking at everything from the outside perspective, out in the open but the weather is good! So, it will be really nice to have a look. Let's go! This one is the Natural History Museum and that one is the Art Museum.
Both look completely identical to each other! How will we remember which one is which one? I think... on my right side is the Natural History Museum and on my left side is the Art Museum Always remember that left side is Art, right side is Natural History. Okay, so... left side is Art and right side is Natural History. No, no, no... The way I am standing! Sure! We can also take the tram here but it is a very pedestrian friendly city. So, I think, we'll just walk around the whole inner city and see the different sites. Even the tram looks beautiful, though. Right?
Yeah! This looks like the Hogwarts castle. Right? This is the town Hall. Yeah. It's called "Rathaus". But this town hall is really like Hogwarts town hall. Vienna is also very LGBTQ-friendly, as you can see here. Very nice. What do you call this? Zebra crossing? Yeah! It's not really zebra anymore. Rainbow! Rainbow crossing! And this here is the Folks Garden. Volksgarten! Once again your pronunciation... Look! Someone is climbing the tree here! Oh, yeah! Folks Garden means "People's Garden" and people come here to relax and chill in the center of the city I think one of the nicest gardens here... Yeah! Right?
Why don't we also relax a bit and take a break from the filming? That seems like another crazy building! That's the National Library, actually. A library? Yeah! Looks like a parliament or something. So, it's indeed the library here, but it's also the Hofburg which is the palace where the Emperor of Austria stayed and it's also the official workplace of the President of Austria, the current President of Austria. That's why it looks so epic here! Infact, it goes all the way around till here.
You can see that there's a nice statue here. Behind there, you can see the Rathaus and if you come here... This is also some famous attraction. And behind, you see those two... are the museums. Oh, yeah? This reminds me of Rome. Right? Just below the statue of Mozart, there is a sign of music! Now, we are getting closer and closer to the most inner part of the city. which is where the Opera and the Stephansdom are. The crazy thing is that we just saw one big attraction after another. It's like all the big, famous buildings are one after another!
Yeah! We walk a bit, reach another famous building, walk a bit more and reach another famous building! Everything is so... historical here, right? Yeah! All the buildings are super beautiful! See, once again: We walk a bit and here's the Opera! Wow! And fun fact: Vienna has 23 different districts and you can see which district you're in whenever you look at the street signs. So, there's a meaning, we're in the first district now. I guess the first district is the most central one and... The inner city... the main one. Just like in "Hunger Games".
The first district is the.... The best? ... the highest.Yeah, the best and the top quality one. You know which movie was shot here? Umm... "Mission Impossible"? Yeah! Tom Cruise was here! Exactly here! Hanging down from there... From the rooftop, doing his things.... — True! — Just the usual! — True! And this is a very nice spot to have a look at the Opera. It's just a balcony almost... nearby here. And of course, take Instagram photos And there you can see Hotel Sacher.
Hotel Sacher actually is where the famous Austrian cake Sachertorte came from and was originally made! Here you can see that even those houses on the side look almost as pretty as the Opera It's just a normal house and there is a bakery down there. Crazy! Vienna has some seriously beautiful buildings! You see that big building behind me? That's the most famous church in Vienna.
The Stephansdom. It's really big! Just look up how big it is! Just to get a better idea of the size, let's go closer to it. Then, you'll understand Look! How big it is! I told you it's very big! It's this big! It's taller than me! Christmas decorations are already up! All these shiny lights! Even though all the stores are closed. Yeah! Here you can see... People in love in Vienna today. Yes... Today? — Oh! The number is decreasing as we came closer to it! — Oh! — No, it's... Oh! — Oh, it's increasing! — They're not sure if we're friends or lovers.
This is actually one of the biggest stations here, train stations. It's called Karlsplatz. And there is a church right above it called the Karlskirche Now, we're going to see that church. That's where we're going right now. Apparently, the church is supposed to be here somewhere. I see it! You see it? — I see it! — Where? Look! Oh! Oh my God! It's so... gigantic! It's really big! This is to make you realize the size of the whole thing. Just have a look! I wonder if we can go into the balconies when the times are normal. You know, this was built in 1727. So, it's not that old. Pretty old! — 300 years old! Looking good for that age, I have to say! This pillar... is so complicated! Yeah... and huge!
Did you notice? — How did they do it back then? — Yeah! It's like, they wrote a whole storyline on this pillar! I like these houses. It's another example of how beautiful these houses and every side street are. That's true, almost every... — ... not even anything special. They're just normal buildings where people live and they're so beautiful! That's true. It looks amazing! The architecture is amazing! We're in train number D and it goes to all the famous sites in Vienna.
Tram, actually. It's not a train, right? — Yeah! Museum is closed but the area around the Schloss is always allowed for visiting Umm... let's go here! So this is the Schloss Belvedere. So this is the other side of Belvedere. There are some nice gardens here and a very nice view of the whole city's skyline. This is just built on a slightly higher level and you can see the Stephansdom from there.
