Destination background

The Vienna City Hall is the town hall of Vienna, Austria, located in the Innere Stadt on the Rathausplatz, off the Ringstrasse. The Gothic Revival building was designed by Friedrich von Schmidt and constructed between 1872 and 1883. It houses the offices of the Mayor of Vienna, as well as the city and state government.
