Like only a few places in the world, the Viennese Ringstrasse bears witness to the magnificence, splendor and
dignity of the city’s golden era. Here, the ‘Belle Époque’ is still very much alive – as a complete work of art, inspiring
cosmopolitan life with its elegance and beauty. This fascinating boulevard welcomes visitors with its grand urban
palaces and magnificent, stately buildings with strong, richly ornamented façades that claim their place as symbols of
the wealth and ascendancy of the bourgeoisie. Nowhere else is the glory of Vienna as the center of power and the
cultural capital of the once-powerful Habsburg Empire more vividly reflected than on the Ringstrasse.
