A good place. Cool fountains on a hot day were a pleasant surprise. And taps with delicious Alpine cold water, which you can enjoy everywhere in Austria.

A monument to 17 thousand soldiers and officers who gave their lives for the liberation of Vienna from the Nazis was erected on Schwarzenbergplatz immediately in the year of the Victory and opened in August forty-fifth! The architectural project with the colonnade was created by S.
