Opernpassage, Heritage pedestrian passage in Innere Stadt, Austria
The Opernpassage extends beneath Vienna's streets as an underground passage system featuring curved glass windows and checkered flooring patterns throughout its corridors.
The pedestrian underpass opened its doors on November 4, 1955, marking a significant development in Vienna's urban infrastructure alongside the reopening of Vienna State Opera.
The western section of the passage displays a permanent art installation called 'Pi' by Canadian artist Ken Lum, adding contemporary artistic elements to the space.
The passage connects multiple destinations from the Secession Building to Karlsplatz, providing underground access to the Vienna State Opera and public transportation nodes.
The Federal Office for the Protection of Monuments guided a complete restoration in 2013, preserving original elements such as round columns and shop window designs.
