Stadtpark

A central public park with the Wien River, the Strauss monument and nearly 9.6 hectares of paths and lawns.

What to expect

Opened in 1862 as Vienna's first public park, Stadtpark covers about 95,900 square metres across the 1st and 3rd districts. Paths connect the river-side Art Nouveau pavilions and bridges with lawns, flowerbeds, a large pond and the gilded Johann Strauss monument. The route feels different on either bank, so allow time to cross the park rather than treating the monument as the whole visit.

Free public park

Before you go

Entry and costs

The municipal park is free to visit. Concerts and dining at Kursalon and other nearby venues are separate; the City lists a dog-free rule in the park proper, with a designated dog area along the Wien River promenade.

Visitor notes

The City of Vienna does not publish regular gate hours on its Stadtpark page. It describes the park as spanning both banks of the Wien River and notes its uneven levels and hilly sections. Check municipal notices for temporary works; do not assume every path is level or step-free.

Opening hours

Date-specific hours are not available for this place. Check the official page for the day you plan to visit.
