About About the place

The Burgtheater, Austria’s National Theatre, is a cornerstone of Vienna’s cultural landscape. Commissioned by Empress Maria Theresa, the current building on the Ringstrasse dates back to the late 19th century and showcases Italian High-Renaissance style. It is celebrated as one of the most important German-language theaters in the world, hosting a diverse repertoire of productions. The interior boasts opulent decorations, notably the ceiling frescoes on the grand staircases created by Gustav Klimt and his contemporaries. Beyond performances, the Burgtheater offers guided tours providing insight into its history and artistry.

It is the most beautiful building I witnessed which is architecturally detailed. The building structure was royal and the building exhibits a regal vibe to it. Visiting this place was an amazing experience and the place is truly a stunning place.

We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.
