Description
If you're looking for a great place to throw a Frisbee or sunbathe on a lawn, you'll love the Palace Gardens. More than just a haven for lazy leisure, Burggarten salutes Vienna's rich musical history with a statue of Mozart mounted on a base decorated with images from Don Giovanni. The garden, which has been open to the public since 1918, is a remnant of the space Napoleon figuratively steamrolled before he left Vienna. In addition to the gardens, you'll find greenhouses (built by Friedrich Ohmann) and an equestrian statue of Emperor Franz I by Balthasar Moll.
