- Berke AyrancıoğluGraz, Austria641 contributionsLocated between the Schloss Schönbrunn and Gloriette. A very nice location to take some photos. If you go behind the fountain, there is a little room which directly sees the Schloss.Written September 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradHong Kong, China176,026 contributionsAlso referred to as Providentia Fountain, this is a charming centrepiece fountain monument located at Neuer Markt in the heart of Innere Stadt. The fountain monument is the work of prolific Austrian sculptor, Georg Raphael Donner (1739). What you see is a centre statue of Providentia bracing a large shield showing a Janus head. Providentia is responsible for overseeing fresh water supply to the city of Vienna.
On the base of the statue are four cherubs with large fish representing the Danube River. You will see four other figures mounted upon the sides of the large basin. These symbolise various rivers (Ybbs, Traun, March and Enns) situated around Austria.
It is a beautiful fountain monument, especially during the warmer months of the year when the fountain is operational and full of water. It is nice to view during the day against blue skies as well as at night when the fountain is lit up with lights around Neuer Markt.Written November 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Then, I learned it was constructed in 1873... impressive! Particularly beautiful at night when it is lighted with rotating colored light. The fountain is located at Schwarzenbergplatz, in front of the memorial to the Soviet soldiers.Written May 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Raintree_ThailandBangkok, Thailand4,289 contributionsFor me, the Pallas Athene Fountain, which stands in front of the Austrian Parliament Building, is one of the most beautiful in all of Vienna. The fountain was completed between 1893 and 1902 in exquisite detail! At the base are allegorical representations of the four most important rivers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (Danube , Inn, Elbe and Vltava). The Godess of Wisdom (Athena) stands above on a column. Well worth some time to appreciate!Written July 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- BradHong Kong, China176,026 contributionsAlbrechtsbrunnen also called the Danube Fountain, is located at Albertinaplatz built into the wall below Albertina Museum. The fountain is named after Archduke Albrecht and was unveiled in 1869. It allegorically represents the tense yet binding relationship between Vindobona (City of Vienna) and Danubius (Danube River).
Overall, this is a very attractive and interesting fountain monument, similar in theme to those at the entrance of the Hofburg Palace at Michaelerplatz. Well worth a few minutes to enjoy when passing through Albertsplatz during visits to Vienna.Written November 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

These are called Music and Lorelei Fountains and are the work of Hanns Gasser (1869) and feature marble female figure atop a chalice style fountain with allegorical configuration of lower level marble figures with water spilling into basins on the ground level. They are attractive fountains during the day and night when they are lit up with lights.Written December 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradHong Kong, China176,026 contributionsConstructed at the foot of the hillside below Gloriette is the imposing Neptune Fountain, commissioned by Maria Therea in the 1770s and designed by Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg.
The fountain is centred around the God Neptune, who stands with trident in front of his shell-shaped chariot. At his side and around him is a figural cast of gods, nymph and sea creatures around him from which water flows into an upper basin before spilling into a shallow but wide ground level basin below
The Neptune fountain is backed by a wall with balustrade fitted with vases that is curbing into the slope of the hillside. You can walk up the path behind the Neptune Fountain for interesting views back through the grotto mound window.Written December 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This is considered one of the main focal points of the entire Gardens.
What you see here is a monumental fountain designed by Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg and erected around 1777. It features a centre obelisk above a grotto mound with various river god figures. Water spills into a ground level basin, all backed by a curbed wall with balustrade fitted with vases, creating a sense of both classicalism and romanticism.Written December 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This one being located atop a set of steps leading to the western side of the canal that cuts through the park.
This is an interesting change of scenery at Stadpark being a contemporary sculpture of two nude males intertwined and only partly carved out of stone as if still waiting to fully emerge into this world. The basin below is where water is spilled and collected below the two figures. This was interesting to see during my recent September visit. Most past visits over the years have been during the middle of winter when the city fountains were not functioning.
Worth a look-see if you plan to do a bit of monument viewing at Stadtpark.Written September 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
