The park in front of the town hall is busy all year round with various festivals, ranging from a Christmas market and an ice rink in winter to a summer film and music festival.
Many monuments and fountains complement the layout of the park.
Another attraction is the large number of centuries-old trees.

This large green area just outside the city centre was used as royal hunting ground until 1766.
It is dotted with chestnut trees and is certainly the most popular city park among the Viennese.
The lawns and the long avenue are frequented by sunbathers and sports enthusiasts alike.

The monument in marble and gold for Johann Strauss Son, is for thousands visitors and probably Vienna's most-photographed sight.
There is a marble arch, in relief, and a golden statue of the King of the waltz, in the middle.
The monument is the artwork of the sculptor E.Helmer, and it was realized in the year 1921. Leave a Comment

You can see here Wolfang Amadeus Mozart’s Denkmal.
The famous composer was born in Salzburg in 1756, and died in Vienna in 1791.
In Vienna you can also visit the Mozart Memorial, a house where he lived from 1784 to 1787 and where he composed his opera "The Marriage of Figaro".
If you’ve seen the movie "Mozart", I am sure you’ll remember how he died: composing the "Requiem". Although he died young, he’s still considered one of the best composers of all times. Leave a Comment

When you are heading to the Rathaus it is on the way and if weather is fine it really will help your body to recover for a next walking. There is a little fountain and benches where you can observe the ordinary life such as in other place. Children playing, moms talking and pigeons searching for the little seeds... Leave a Comment

The city park is a lovely, quietly place, and in English landscape style.
It was designed in the year 1862, during the construction of the Ring, and based on the plans of Josef Selleny and Rudolf Siebeck.
The park has a dimension of 65.303 square metres.
The entrance of the park is placed exactly in front of the hotel Meriot, on the Parkring.
The Vienna River flows through this lovely place, into a magical landscape.
Numerous monuments remind of celebrities of the Viennese music history.
The lovely flower pads are in summers, a real attraction, for the Viennese.
The miraculous avenues, the pond in the middle of the park, the flower clock, the pavilion, the small tower, but in the first point, the statue of the "King of the waltz", Johann Strauss, are some of the peculiarities of this garden.

In the 19th District, there is a lovely Japanese garden called the Setagaya Park, which was designed by a landscape gardener named Ken Nakajima from Japan in 1992.
The Setagaya Park is 4000 sq. metres and it copies a Japanese landscape with a few ponds and streams, stone structures, and densely-planted vegetations that are typical of Japanese gardens. The large central pond even has live Japanese goldfishes and water lilies.
There is also a Japanese tea house, a "Yukimi style" stone lantern, several stone sculptures and a fountain, as well as a poem set in stone at the entrance to the garden. The garden is planted with Japanese maples, ornamental cherry trees and moor bedding plants such as azaleas and other beautiful flowers.
The Setagaya Park is not so large but it is beautiful, peaceful and quiet. The regular visitors are the retirees, whose retirement complex is located just next to this beautiful japanese garden.
The Japanese garden is located in 19th district, Hohe Warte/Gallmeyer-gasse. You can take the underground train U4 to Heilegenstadt (end-station), then bus 10A, until 2nd stop. Or you can take Tram 37.

Some people are spooked-out about visiting cemetaries, but in Vienna, the people seem to be obsessed with Death. Everywhere, you will see monuments to great writers and composers who have died, and there are cemetaries in several districts of this city. If you want to see an amazing cemetary, I suggest you visit the Zentralfriedhof. Here you will see kilometers upon kilometers of magnificent gravestones and monuments. It is dark, overgrown, and some graves here date back almost a millennium! People who visit their deceased friends and relatives often require a map to navigate this cemetary. If you look around, you may bump into the graves of the classical greats: Beethoven, Brahms, and Strauss. Mozart, however, does not rest here - he lays in an unmarked grave in another cemetary.
