Plague Column (Pestsäule) on the Graben

Highlight • Monument

The Graben is one of the most famous streets in the center of Vienna's Old Town, the 1st district. It starts from the Stock-im-Eisen-Platz / Stephansplatz (with the Stephansdom) at the beginning of the Kärntner Straße and leads to the northwest to the transverse axis Kohlmarkt-Tuchlauben. From the Graben, which was designed as a pedestrian area place-like, branch off narrow historic streets. It acts as a luxurious shopping and shopping street and, together with Kärntner Straße and Kohlmarkt, forms the "golden U" of Viennese commerce.

Hofburg, Vienna and the Sisi Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

The Hofburg in Vienna was the residence of the Habsburgs in Vienna from the 13th century until 1918 (with interruptions). Since 1945 it has been the official residence of the Austrian Federal President. It houses most of the Austrian National Library as well as various museums (including the Albertina) and the Federal Monuments Office. The irregular building complex, which grew over the course of around seven centuries, also includes two religious buildings: the Hofburg Chapel and the Augustinian Church.

Maria Theresa Monument

Highlight • Monument

The Maria Theresa Monument is a huge monument in the middle of
Maria Theresa Square. Probably the most important monument of the Habsburgs
was built under the direction of Kaspar von Zumbusch over a 13-year construction period.
It was ceremoniously unveiled in 1888 in the presence of Empress Sissi.
The monument, which is over 19 meters high and weighs around 44 tons, represents Empress Maria Theresa (she ruled from 1740 to 1780, she reformed the school system, for example, and took care of state affairs as well as her 16 children) in the form of a larger-than-life, 6-meter-high figure. With her right hand she greets her people, in her left hand the Empress holds a roll of documents from the Pragmatic Sanction and the scepter. Around her are four equestrian statues of her generals.
The monument is a world cultural heritage site.
