Description

Franz Joseph's trip to Paris inspired him to commission his architects to build Ringstraße on the site of the old city walls. During our walk, the houses of Ringstraße will provide you with examples of every European art movement, be it neo-Gothic, Baroque, or Art Nouveau. I'll tell you lots of interesting stories along the way about the gemstone flower bouquet, the hidden architect's code on the exterior of the Karlskirche, and why a building here is nicknamed the spiked box. So get your shoes on, grab your camera, and let's go!
