Pasé de camino al alojamiento, al llegar a la ciudad. Es imponente. De estilo neoclásico inspirado en la arquitectura griega. Se encuentra en la avd Ringstrasse y es de los edificios más visitados por turistas . De noche iluminado se ve espectacular

Me dejó sin palabras la primera vez que llegué a este colosal y ricamente decorado edificio de Viena, que es la sede del poder en Austria. Con un estilo neoclásico que se inspira en los antiguos templos griegos resulta verdaderamente impresionante y tanto de día como de noche merece mucho la pena acercarse para verlo.

El edificio es impresionante representando un templo griego con la diosa Atenea en su entrada. Lo mejor es que tiene visitas guiadas en distintos idiomas y gratuitas. La visita estuvo muy interesante.
