It can have a fair amount of wait time depending on what day you go. We had goulash and a couple drinks off their drink menu, the spring g spritz being my favorite. The goulash had this large bread ball that soaked up all the sauce and was just decadent. You get a view of the gardens/park as well as the back side of Hofburg palace. One of my favorite stops while we were in Vienna.

We went here because it was included and our ticket and it didn't disappoint!…read more My mother is a huge plant lover and she adored this place, looking at all of the different plants that are native to the area and a lot that aren't. Getting in was easy, just scan your ticket QR code and it lets you in. Everything was just really nice. I would come back here again if I'm in Vienna in the future.

It's not necessarily hard to get to,…read morebut it sits closer to the outskirts of the city but whether you come by public or by car (there's plenty of parking) it's definitely worth it! These gardens provide multiple styles and themes of gardens and areas to walk around, along with playgrounds and several enclosures for small animals including goats, sheep, owls, various birds, turtles, rabbits and more! There is also a small, but beautiful Plamenhaus. You can easily spend a couple hours walking through everything and it's the perfect place to bring your family and a picnic lunch. Don't just take my word for it, come see it for yourself and enjoy the gardens!

A small butterfly conservatory…read more For 7€ a person, it is absolutely with it. There is only one room, with a bridge, lots of flowers and 6 different butterfly species. Although when we went one was 95% seen. It will take you about half an hour to walk around and see the whole exhibition. You do learn some interesting fun facts about butterflies. Special note: it is really warm in there, leave your jackets outside, there are free coat hangers

Still rainy, so let's stay inside…read more As part of the Hofburg Royal Palace, The Imperial Butterfly House is housed within an Art Nouveau greenhouse in the Burggarten. Admission in 7€. The gravel path makes a loop through the garden and round a small creek and waterfall. The path is quite narrow in spots. As you walk in there is a case of chrysalises. Some butterflies as recently emerged. Not sure if it was the time of year, December, but there were not many butterflies flitting around, or a large variety. I believe I saw around a half dozen or so different types. A single atlas moth larger than my hand was resting near the door as you walked in. You can watch them eat on bananas and special flowers sprayed with honey water. I looped the garden twice, in about 45 minutes. There's a room off from the gift shop that shows a loop film about the life cycle of butterflies and moths. Ok for a rainy day. I wouldn't return.
