Public gardens along Ringstrasse

The gardens of Vienna’s Ringstrasse look back on a history of more than 200 years: the „Rathauspark“ as an event zone, the „Volksgarten“ with the Theseus Temple and the monument to Empress Elisabeth, and the „Burggarten“ as a former imperial private garden with its unique monuments are particularly appreciated.

The largest park on the Ringstrasse, however, is the „Stadtpark„. It is dedicated to artists and musicians and the Kursalon at the edge of the park was once the workplace of the famous Johann Strauss the Younger.

We meet in front of the Burgtheater on the Ringstrasse at the edge of the city center, which you can reach in a few minutes walk from St. Stephen’s Cathedral.

After a short introduction, we will start by visiting the Rathauspark with its exotic plants and important statues that remind us in many ways of the history of the City of Vienna.

Afterwards, we head to the Volksgarten with the Temple of Theseus and the Monument to Empress Elisabeth. This park is a feast for the eyes, especially in spring during the blooming of the roses.

Via Heldenplatz we go to the former imperial private garden, the Burggarten. This is particularly appreciated as a hot spot, not least because of the beautiful palm house.

We stroll past the Albertina and the State Opera to the Stadtpark and, next to the Kursalon, visit the city’s most famous statue of the waltz king Johann Strauss.

During the guided tour you will not only learn about the history, important personalities and the unique flora on the Ringstrasse. In addition, I also give a variety of tips and recommendations about other sights of Vienna.

Quality is my highest priority and therefore the tours always take place target group oriented and in a relaxed atmosphere!

Upon request, I also offer the tour as a bike tour.

Hint: bring your camera

I am looking forward to meeting you!
