Whenever you are in Vienna, always go over to the Rathaus to see what's going on. If you're lucky, you will arrive during one of their festivals. On a recent visit in April, my friend and I went over and they were having a wine and beer fest featuring the wine and beer from Styria which is a province southwest... More

This is a beautiful building. When I was there, there were a lot of food vendors, set up for a festival. I did not enter the building. More

Situated between impressive Parliament and university buildings, the Rathaus is a beautiful building with an amazing spire. Unfortunately, a large stage had been constructed in front, which completely took away the impact of the building. A shame More

I only walked past this building and it was an impressive sight, pity there was some kind of stage being put up obscuring part of its frontage when I went. More

I visited the Rathaus during my stay in Vienna and was impressed by the architecture and the beauty of the surrounding parks and buildings. I visited once more to show my husband round, but we couldn't gain entry to the courtyard. To our surprise, there was a festival being held outside the Rathaus, celebrating and promoting other regions of Austria... More

Visited with my husband in January 2012 and the city had turned the Rathaus Park in front of City Hall into "Wiener Eistraum." All the paths through the park had been converted to ice skating paths that connected to two larger central rinks. There were lights, music and food stalls. This was seriously one of our favorite parts of our... More
