Stadtpark
Because of its location, Vienna has the ideal weather for beautiful juicy green nature almost all year long. Vienna’s parks are perfect for day excursions or just having a relaxing break from the city. With this guide, we show you the best and most interesting green areas in the Austrian capital.
| Vienna’s first public park has been opened in August 1862, constructed in the style of an English landscape garden and designed by Josef Selleny and Rudolf Siebeck. Originally, the park was just a part of the city’s first district, and therefore on the left side of the River Wien. But one year later the park was extended, and another part was built the other side of the river. Today, this park is the one with the most memorials and sculptures in Vienna, like of the Viennese musician and composer Johann Strauss. |
