Hofburg: My obsession
  • Tip Rating:
  • I love the entrances and doors so I always take pictures of them. This one is in the area of Hofburg and it is really wonderful. If you can understand Latin you can read all the info right on the place. The Gate is calling Swiss Gate.

    1.Bezirk / 1st district: Rathaus from the nearby park
  • Tip Rating:
  • As you head to Rathaus - City Hall you can go two ways. There is a nearby park right next to the Parliament and mostly tourists walk down the street directly to see Rathaus. But better is to walk through park, you should see Rathaus through green leaves and it is really worth to see :)

    1.Bezirk / 1st district: Maria Theresa Square
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is really one of my favourite in Vienna. There is a baroque garden (or park) situated between two identical buildings. Boths are museums, on your right side (if you are coming from the direction of Hofburg) there is Museum of history and nature with great collections of historic animal species, rocks etc etc. and on your left side there is a Museum of Art. It is must see :) but take good shoes because your feet will strike after so long walk there. You can send there hours and hours.

    1.Bezirk / 1st district: Statue of Maria Theresa
  • Tip Rating:
  • Well, but back to the park. Central statue as the name of the square evocates is Empress Maria Theresa and her "men of cabinet such as Swieten, Kaunitz, Liechteinstein, Haugwitz"and sitting on horses you can see statues of dukes Duan, Laudon, Traun and Khevenhuller. The whole object is work of sculptor Kabol on request of Emperor Franz Josef I. The statue was revealed in 1887.

    Things To Do: Peterskirche - The Church of St. Peter
  • Tip Rating:
  • It is a true copy of the Church in Rome and there is hypotesis that before this church there was another one from late Roman period around 792 AC established by King Carl The Great but first written claims are just from year 1137. In 18CT the church got its recent look and it is a work of Gabriel Montani and Lukas von Hildebrandt.
    Empress Elizabeth often spent there hours praying alone.

     re "Watch out..." These shelters were build to protect the restaurators working on the Quadrigas. Although they might look scary, they are perfectly safe. Nobody lives or changes clothes in there :-)

     How funny to find Rosenberger listed! We always rely on this place when we arrive in Vienna; simple comfort food.

     Very nice page about Vienna. I love your pics! I have to admit that I've never seen the Peterskirche before, though I#ve been to Vienna a thousand times!!! :( I have to visit it the next time...
