7 stunning and beautiful parks in Vienna

With their spectacular flower gardens, green meadows and tree-lined paths, Vienna’s parks are attractions in themselves. Jogging, lying on a meadow and reading a book, enjoying a family picnic or simply going for a walk – Vienna has perfect locations for all of these: its parks. In this episode of VIENNA/NOW we visited seven particularly beautiful parks in Vienna.

#1 Volksgarten: The Volksgarten is undoubtedly one of the city’s most beautiful parks. It is part of Vienna’s Imperial Palace grounds and still shows traces of its French Baroque origin. Right in the heart of Vienna, we can wind down perfectly for a moment and take in the impressive park.

#2 Türkenschanz Park: We are taking a break in the Türkenschanzpark in Währing, the 18th district. It was the city’s largest park until 1918. Today its a popular green oasis with colorful recreational features, including volleyball and baseball courts, skating rinks and ping pong tables. Monuments for famous people such as Adalbert Stifter can be found here.

#3 Stadtpark: The Stadtpark was opened in 1862, making it Vienna’s oldest publicly accessible park. If you’re longing for some peace and relaxation right in Vienna’s center, the Stadtpark is the perfect place.

#4 Kurpark Oberlaa: It may be less central, but Kurpark Oberlaa is always worth an excursion. It can easily be reached directly from the center with the U1 subway line. The giant grounds consist of many individual sections and were opened in 1974 as part of Vienna’s International Garden Show. We recommend planning some extra time for the thematic sections of the Kurpark, like the Allergy Garden, Flower Labyrinth, Film City or Japanese Garden.

#5 Augarten: The Augarten is Vienna’s oldest baroque garden. It has a tumultuous past and was almost completely destroyed on two occasions. Only the two flak towers from World War II are still a reminder of its darkest period. With its extensive meadows and impressive avenues, the park is all the more beautiful today.

#6 Danube Park: On the other side of the Danube, the Danube Park is home to Austria’s highest building and thus one of Vienna’s most famous attractions – the Danube Tower. The Danube Park was created during the Vienna International Garden Show in 1964.

#7 Burggarten: Between the Imperial Palace and Albertina, adjacent to Vienna’s famous Ringstrasse, the Burggarten has always been a popular and quiet oasis of nature. Several impressive monuments and statues perfectly complement the imperial style of the park. Highlights include a 7.5-meter marble statue of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Vienna’s oldest equestrian statue.
