Tourist Attractions & Monuments Austria

A round-shape, deeply influenced by oriental art, including Marie-Thérèse Fond, he was also the theatre of historic events: on 11 November 1918, the last emperor of Austria-Hungary, Charles, signed his surrender and gave up the exercise of power. The monarchy was coming to an end. Many other cabinets, very intimate, are inspired by their decoration of Oriental art. The million wood wood panelling of the Million (so called the value estimated in guilders at the time), with an invaluable value of Indian and boxers miniatures offer an example of the most successful rococo. Thoroughness and patisserie are not empty words here. We can also see the work firms of Napoleon who, on two occasions, made Schönbrunn its headquarters during the Austrian campaigns of 1805 and 1809. Schönbrunn was the scene of the tragic end of the Aiglon. The frescoes of the ceilings are the work of Gregorio Guglielmi.

In the Orangerie, every evening, concerts in the costumes of Mozart and Strauss are celebrated. In addition, the long building in the large stained glass bays houses in its adjacent end the theatre theatre (open in the afternoon).

At the foot of the tower, the very flowery Danube park presents a sample of plants and monuments representing a globalized art, whose interpretation is not always easy. No one would argue that the Danube Park is one of the most pleasant parks in the city.

At the huge complex of the inter-national city, the turn of the century was built at the turn of the millennium to celebrate the city's entry into the third millennium and become the highest building in the city (more than 100 m) after the nearby television tower, the Donau Turm which peaked at 170 m., thanks to two powerful elevators. At the top, a revolving panoramic restaurant offers, in addition to a splendid view, honest cuisine at moderate prices.

On the other side of the new Danube, this complex was opened in the late 1970 s. VIC hosts UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime), IAEA (IAEA) (International Atomic Energy Agency), CTBTO (Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization), UNIDO (UNIDO) (United Nations Industrial Development Organization), INCB (INCB) (International Narcotics Control Board)) and UNHCR (Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees).

The Kunsthalle of MuseumQuartier responds to that of Kartplatz designed as a Project Space. The idea is the provision of large, flexible exhibitions open to the most experimental events. This results in programming that is sometimes as exciting as absolutely out of date. A kind of laboratory of contemporary art. By visiting the museum, you will be able to attend one of the many contemporary art screenings in one of the small rooms planned for this purpose.

A municipal residential complex, it is in fact a former industrial complex brilliantly transformed into housing. Characteristic by its red colour, it is designed around a home with a private swimming pool, the heart of a building that wants community.

Ancient, an ancient imperial residence under Marc Aurèle, located on the road from Vienna to Bratislava, is the largest Roman remnant in Austria. It is composed of an open-air museum where the ancient Roman constructions, including Diane's Temple, the Bad Deutschen-Altenburg amphitheatre, which could once accommodate 8 000 people, and the Ancient Museum traced the history of the empire through the many objects found on the site. The space, beautifully furnished for the visit, allows a real dive in Antiquity. Reconstructions, exhibition of weapons, armor, crafts. At the Information Centre: documents, souvenir shop.

It climbs the hill of Du (200 to 450 m) and offers numerous hiking trails between vineyards and forest, to the famous Benedictine abbey of Göttweig. It is a beautiful construction of the th century in a privileged natural site. The abbey, founded in the th century, has a strong reputation in the Middle Ages. The current ensemble, due to the architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt, remained unfinished. No less admire the church, richly decorated in flamboyant Baroque style.
