Opera, Imperial Garden, Heroes Square
As the first building on the newly created Ringstrasse, the opera house was supposed to be a showpiece. But a city planning decision suddenly made it the focus of public criticism. We then walk through the picturesque Imperial garden to the Heroes square. Learn here about the heroes, the New Castle and what the Kaiserforum is all about.
Info
The Imperial Palace also houses the World Museum with great exhibits from ancient cultures. Maybe worth a visit after the tour!
Peoples garden, Parliament
Completed in 1823, the garden was available to the people of Vienna. Today it houses hidden monuments, the famous Theseus Temple and in the summer months over 3,000 rose bushes of around 400 different varieties bloom here! Opposite the garden is the Parliament, modelled on a Greek temple.
Info
Why not go in search of the monuments - Empress Sisi is also enthroned, hidden among the shrubs!
