City Park is a spa, a green oasis in the middle of the city, but also, an open-air collection of precious artworks, that reminds at important celebrities of the music lives and the history of Vienna. There, are placed monuments that were realized from famous sculptors, for famous musicians. The monument of Franz Schubert, for example, was realized from the sculptors C. Kundmann and T. Hansen, in the year 1872, and is a donation of the M?nnergesang-Verein (male choir) of Vienna, to the city park. The monuments of Hans Makart, Robert Stolz, Schindler, or Andreas-Zelinka are placed on the avenues of the park. Leave a Comment

Take a tour of the Ring to get a general impression of the grandest face of Imperial Vienna. Circular lines 1 and 2, going clockwise and anti-clockwise respectively, enable you to see a number of monuments, buildings and parks: if you start at the the Opera, with the tram line Nr 1, you will see the Burggarten with the statues of Goethe and Mozart, Maria Theresien Platz with the twin buildings of the Kunsthistorisches and the Naturhistorisches museums, the Burgtor and the Heldenplatz, the Volksgarten, the Parliament, the Rathauspark and the Rathaus (City Hall), the Burgteater, the remains of the city walls, the University, the Stock Exchange, the Votivkirche, the Ruprechtskirche, the Postsparkasse, the Regierungsgebaude, the Academy of Applied Arts, the Stadtpark with the gilded statue of Strauss, the statue of Karl Philipp von Scharzenberg, and then you are back at the Opera.
