The area

Address

Neighbourhood: Inner City

In Vienna's best-known district, pedestrian boulevards Kärntner Strasse and Graben connect you with landmarks such as the Wiener Staatsoper (Vienna State Opera), Vienna’s iconic Stephansdom (St. Stephen’s Cathedral) and the vast compound of Hofburg, the Habsburgs’ former Imperial Palace. Peek down side streets such as Annagasse and Weihburggasse, and Graben’s Seilergasse and Habsburggasse, to get a feel for the centre. The Imperial Apartments and the refreshingly demystifying Sissi Museum are must-dos at Hofburg. Spacious squares such as Am Hof and Freyung often host beautiful seasonal and antiques markets.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Awesome sculptures, but not much water

Oct 2019

The Albrechtsbrunnen is a fountain on the lower level of the Albertina museum. The fountain is named after Field Marshal Archduke Albrecht of Austria-Teschen, who at that time also lived in the Albertina.

The fountain is also known as Danubiusbrunnen for all the allegorical sculptures representing the main rivers of the then Austro-Hungarian Empire, including the River Danube from which the fountain takes it’s alternative name. Other rivers featured include Tisza , Mur , Salzach , March , Rába , Enns and Traun.

The fountain and sculptures are awe inspiring as it was intended to show off the power and size of Austria-Hungary. Oddly for a fountain. Water actually plays a small part of this structure. It’s more about the sculptures than a fountain. The fountain is well worth a look and easy to find if you’re planning on visiting the Albertina anyway.
