Parks of Vienna
|
Rathauspark |
||||
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. |
