The Rathaus
Park was designed in 1863 when Emperor Franz Joseph I decided
to do away with the parade ground. He asked a gardener named
Dr. Rudolf Siebeck to design the park.
Today the park derives much of its character from the highly
varied selection of woody plants.
In winter, the expanse is used to the 'Wiener
Eistraum', a romantic ice skating rink.
In summer, a free
open air cinema shows concerts, operas and other classical
music highlights.
