Vienna, Austria
4.3 / 27
Rathaus Wien, also known as Vienna City Hall, is a stunning building with a well-maintained façade and beautiful grounds. Every angle offers a new and different view, making it a must-see for visitors.
Constructed in 1872 in the Neo-Gothic style, Rathaus Wien is an important hub for local government, housing the Mayor of Vienna's office and city council chambers. It holds historical significance as it was briefly the tallest building in the world from 1892 to 1894, and it still retains its magnificent presence.
Visitors have the opportunity to take guided tours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, allowing them to explore the inner workings of this impressive structure. Additionally, Rathaus Wien hosts various events on its grounds, offering a vibrant and lively atmosphere.
While some visitors have mentioned that their views of the building were partially obstructed during their visit, such as during a film festival or an electric transport exhibition, the overall beauty of the architecture still shines through. It is worth noting that access to the building may have certain limitations, as indicated by the closed front doors and the need to book tours in advance.
Despite any temporary closures or inconveniences, Rathaus Wien remains highly recommended for all tourists. Its exterior architecture is breathtaking, and many have praised the beautiful ballroom and its stunning artwork. Whether inside or outside, the experience of being at Rathaus Wien is truly amazing and enjoyable.
