Las fotos no hacen honor a este impresionante y bello edificio que empequeñece a todos los visitantes. Ya no es solo su gran altura, sino su rica decoración y el ambiente tan animado que se mueve a sus pies. Es especialmente magnífico por la noche con su iluminación que permite verlo desde lejos.

El edificio del ayuntamiento es tan impresionante, cada detalle tan perfectamente elaborado, es una belleza hipnotizante. Vale la pena visitarlo y aunque no pude verlo por dentro, estoy segura que es aun mas impresionante. En la plaza que tiene enfrente hacen muchas actividades según la temporada.

Para mi el edificio del Ayuntamiento creo que es de los edificios más impresionantes de Viena lo más parecido a una catedral. Por la noche tiene a sus pies el mercadillo navideño más grande de Viena. Tiene mucho ambiente debido a la pista de patinaje sobre hielo que también tiene. El edificio tiene visitas guiadas gratuitas que tienes que reservar online.
