Ringstrasse boulevard encircles the historic city center of Vienna, along important historic buildings. Take streetcar n° 1 or 2 for a sightseeing tour. Along the 5 km long and 57 m wide boulevard there is a lot of interesting buildings to see:
- the Imperial Palace, housing many collections
- Vienna State Opera
- Museum of Fine Arts and Natural History
- the Natioal Theatre
- Museum of Applied Arts
- the University
- Votive Church
- the former Stock Exchange
- and the Parliament building
Visiting the City Park, located at the Ringstrasse, you can see the golden statue of waltz king Johann Strauss.

The City center
Rathausplatz, which is also situated along the boulevard at the City Hall, is one of the busy squares of Vienna. In summer the outdoor Music Film Festival entertains the audience, also providing delicacies at the stands around.
At Christmas time Vienna’s Advent gives a special ambience and Vienna’s “Dream on Ice” in winter provides skating fun.
Getting off at Schwedenplatz you can change to a round-trip sightseeing boat, go for another round or just enter the city’s heart around Stephansplatz with the dome.
Today is 8th of July, so there is 1 month and 16 days before going to Canada. I’m really looking forward to it
