My one day Vienna itinerary ⤵️ 1. Start with brunch at @ulricherichwien 2. Visit the Palace of Justice (it’s a highly secure yet GORGEOUS government building- see the reel I posted before this one for all the details!) Pop up to their cafeteria for a coffee and a great view 3. Swing by the Austrian Parliament Building - it’s just nice to look at 👀 4. Take a stroll through Volksgarten 5. See some ornate statues, beautiful architecture, and horses and carriages in Michaelerplatz 6. Visit St. Stephen’s Cathedral. *Tour the inside for free or pay (cash only) to climb to the top of the north or south tower (great views!) 7. Stop into Shakespeare and Co. if you love an aesthetic book place 8. Grab a bite at Israeli restaurant @miznonvienna (the hamburger in a pita is 🤤) 9. End the day with a visit to the Vienna State Opera House (@wienerstaatsoper) I got an opera ticket for €15 and made sure to arrive early. The interior is incredible. 📌 Save for your Vienna trip! (And drop any other suggestions in the comments if you have them- I’ll pin them 🤗) . . . . . #visitvienna #travelitinerary #discovervienna #vienna #visitaustria #austria #onedayinvienna

Volksgarten (People's Park) is located just beyond Hapsburg Palace and very near to the Burg Theatre. This is one of the oldest public parks in the city, opening to the public in 1823. Like other important city parks and squares around Vienna, Volksgarten doesn't show its best during winter months. Trees are bare of foliage, shrubs are wrapped up and covered to protect them from the elements and the cafe is closed for season. That is fine and expected given the cold winter conditions. While the natural beauty of the park is not on display at this time of year, the monuments are fine to view. You can view the interesting statues of Empress Elisabeth, Franz Grillparzer, the Theseus Temple as well as the more recently inaugurated Memorial for the Victims of Nazi Military Justice. During my recent visit, there was a thin layer of snow, which made for nice monument viewing at Volksgarten.

While visiting Vienna over the weekend from Sthlm my friend and I were a little hesitant about clubbing at Volksgarten due to many reviews insinuating ethno-party scene appealing only to a certain ethnic group of people. We were happy to see these reviews are certainly not true as the crowd was multicultural and very friendly. It’s true the bouncers pushed back on a couple of guys and girls equally but they seem to have well trained eyes and kept the crowd well balanced. Great margaritas 13€/each, good bartenders, some slightly too stressed when it got too busy. Good mix of charts, techno, hip hop, several dance floors which get really crowded but you can get your space, as there’s no pushing around. Reasonable DJs. Expect long queues to the ladies after ca 3 am when girls start passing out from too much buzz but otherwise a really great place for dancing your night away.

The Volksgarten in Vienna is a beautiful public garden located in the city center, adjacent to the Imperial Palace, the Hofburg. This park is renowned for its meticulously maintained gardens, impressive statues, and most notably, its rose garden which features hundreds of varieties of roses. The rose bloom period, particularly in late spring and early summer, transforms the garden into a vibrant and fragrant spectacle, attracting both locals and tourists.Additionally, the garden houses a monument to Empress Elisabeth (Sissi) and the Theseus Temple, a full-scale replica of a classical Greek temple. During the summer, the Volksgarten becomes a lively hub with numerous cultural events, concerts, and outdoor activities. It's a popular spot for relaxation, strolls, and enjoying both natural and historical beauty.

After we visited the City Hall we ended up at Volksgarten public park for a walk. The park is nice, has a kind of “Greek” building in the middle named “Theseus Temple”, beautiful and colourful flowers since it was Spring 2017, nice statues and fountains with cute ducks and really well-kept roses garden. We didn’t stay too much over there, but it was nice to walk around, but we would suggest this garden to you if you have a spare time to spend in Vienna, if not, we believe there are lots of other “Must” see places to go. Eli: 3+ / Serge: 3+ Recommended: Yes, it’s a nice and well-kept garden.
