Con diferencia, para mí, es el mejor parque de Viena. Está situado justo al lado del Hofburg. Fue creado a comienzos del siglo XIX como jardín privado de la familia imperial y aún conserva ese aire elegante y tranquilo que lo convierte en un respiro perfecto en pleno centro de la ciudad. Entre sus rincones más conocidos está la estatua de Mozart, rodeada de flores en forma de clave de sol, que se ha convertido en uno de los lugares más fotografiados de Viena. También destaca el Palmenhaus, un invernadero modernista de hierro y cristal que hoy alberga una cafetería y la Casa de las Mariposas, un espacio curioso y muy vistoso. Con sus praderas, senderos sombreados y vistas hacia los edificios imperiales, el Burggarten combina historia y naturaleza de una manera encantadora, recordando que incluso los Habsburgo buscaban un rincón de paz dentro de la ciudad.

Un jardin con mucha naturaleza, belleza, historia. Vale mucho pena visitarlo, sobretodo el momento a Mozart, es bellísimo.

Un parque en pleno centro al lado del palacio Hofburg, del Palmenhaus y detrás del Albertina. Es grande, tiene un pequeño lago y es ideal para descansar un rato. Hay mucha gente en el césped tomando el sol, leyendo, hablando. En una entrada hay una estatua y parterre dedicado a Mozart.
