Stadtpark
Wiener Stadtpark
An English-style garden beside the Ringstrasse. The golden statue of Johann Strauss II playing the violin is one of the most photographed sculptures in Vienna.
Stadtpark opened in 1862 as Vienna's first public park and spans both banks of the Wien River. Its most famous feature is the gilded bronze statue of Johann Strauss II from 1921. He plays the violin under an arch, and there are memorial statues of Schubert, Bruckner, Lehár and other composers nearby. The Kursalon in the park is where Strauss once conducted, and it now hosts nightly Strauss and Mozart concerts. The metro station entrance by the river was designed by Otto Wagner. Admission is free. Take the U4 to Stadtpark station.
