What you'll see
A wide boulevard looping round the old town, lined with the Parliament, the City Hall, the university, the Burgtheater, parks and the opera, with trams running down the middle.
A brief history
It was laid out in the 1860s where the old city walls had stood, once the emperor ordered them pulled down. Its grand buildings each borrow an older style: Greek for democracy, Gothic for city pride.
