Cần Quan Tâm
Votivkirche
Begin your tour at Votivkirche, one of Vienna’s most striking neo-Gothic churches. The church was consecrated in 1879 and built on the site of an assassination attempt on Emperor Franz Joseph in 1853. After the emperor survived the attack, his brother Archduke Maximilian initiated a fundraising campaign to construct the church as a thanksgiving offering to God. The building is made from white sandstone and is known for its elegant twin spires and richly decorated interior. One of the most impressive features is the high altar, along with beautiful stained glass windows and intricate Gothic architectural details.
Altes Rathaus
Next, continue to Vienna’s City Hall, located on the large square known as Rathausplatz. Designed by architect Friedrich von Schmidt and built between 1872 and 1883, the building is an excellent example of neo-Gothic civic architecture. The façade features five towers, with the central tower rising to about 98 meters in height. At the top stands the famous Rathausmann statue, which has become one of the symbols of Vienna. Today, the building serves as the seat of the city government and the surrounding square hosts many public events, markets, and festivals throughout the year.
