Favorite Thing: visit the Schoenbrunn palace. The former residence of the imperial family takes its name from a beautiful spring that was found on this site. An earlier hunting lodge was destroyed by the Turks, so Leopold I asked Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach to design a grand Baroque residence here in 1695. However, it was not until Maria Theresa employed Nikolaus Pacassi that the project was completed in the mid-18th century. The strict symmetry of the architecture is complemented by the gardens with fountains and statues framed by trees and alleyways.

Fondest Memory: This is south wing of Wiener Burg and it is built in Neo-Baroque ''Ringstrasse style''. Nowdays it houses a part of Kunsthistorisches Museum… On the right of the picture you can see the Prince Eugene Monument.

Favorite Thing: This winter Riding school was founded in 1572 but built about 1730. The Lipizzaner stallions (originaly from Lipica, Slovenia!!!) have since 1918 been bred at a stud in the Styruab village of Piber.

Favorite Thing: The central area (I. Bezirk) is surrounded by the monumental buildings and gardens of the Ring Road, the area developed between 1859 and 1888 on the site of the old fortifications and surrounding glacis which linked up the heart of the medieval town with the old suburbs.
