Burggarten, Imperial park in Innere Stadt, Austria
The Burggarten is a park next to Hofburg Palace with paths, trees, and various monuments scattered throughout the grounds. A glass palm house from the early 1900s stands in the garden and houses tropical plants.
The garden was created after Napoleon's troops left in 1809 from a fortified area. It served as a private garden for Emperor Franz Joseph I until it opened to the public in 1919.
The space carries the name of Emperor Franz Joseph and features the Mozart monument placed here in 1953 among other imperial statues. These sculptures tell the story of the monarchy and create a place where history and nature meet.
The garden is accessible daily throughout the year and has multiple entrances from different street sides. Visitors should note that opening hours vary between summer and winter seasons.
The palm house in the garden features a butterfly garden where visitors can watch tropical butterflies and bats in their recreated natural habitat. This brings a piece of the tropics into the heart of the city.
