Visit the Hofburg Theatre




The Hofburg Theatre is one of the most beautiful buildings on the Ring Strasse. It is located across from the Rathaus.

Take a second to pause and really look at the buildings. One of the things I noticed about being back this second time in Vienna was I never really stopped to closely examine all the buildints in Vienna. It would be a mistake to not spend the time to look at things because so much detail and thought goes into each building. There are words, symbols, statues, and pieces of art all over the buildings that you'd miss if you just glanced at them but are in plain sight if you take a second to stop.

The Hofburg Theatre is one of those buildings. I used to think it was kind of plain and only mildly interesting. However, I came to realize that there are lots of interesting things on it. The outside is decorated with statues of famous play writers including Shakepseare and Goethe. Additionally, there are beautiful statues on the top of it. It is actually quite a unique looking theatre.
