10 Gardens in Vienna That You Shouldn't Miss

June 13, 2021 Karren Gelb

In Vienna, the coffee house isn’t just a hangout: it’s an institution. Lingering over a newspaper with a pastry and a strong espresso drink is, according to UNESCO, officially a Viennese cultural pastime. Walk off your slice of Sachertorte with a self-guided tour of the city’s stunning traditional, Secessionist, and modern architecture, such as the Imperial Palace, the State Opera House, the Kirche am Steinhof, or the Kunsthistorisches Museum, an exercise in ornate geometry.

Schonbrunner Gardens

Reviewed By zimmys57 - Delavan, United States

We were blessed with a warm sunny afternoon to enjoy this beautiful Vienna landmark. We took in all the stunning gardens, fountains large and small, and then the leisurely stroll up the hill to the Gloriette, The effort to reach the top of the hill was rewarded with breathtaking views of the Schonbrunn Palace and city beyond. What an enjoyable afternoon!

Belvedere Schlossgarten

Reviewed By GroverR - Pensacola, United States

The Belvedere Complex includes two incredible palaces with great art and architecture; however, just as impressive and enjoyable is the gardens that surround it. As I have said in reviews of the palaces, enter one side and leave the other. This way you get to walk the gardens as well. Again, there are just as amazing made for pictures.

Augarten

Reviewed By trimess - Brookfield, United States

Now it's a nice park, with two large, monolithic towers from WWIII looming above. There are plenty of paths (nicely shaded) around the park: great for a walk or run. You can't go in the towers, but they are something to look at from below!
