Fodor's Review:
The intimate Burggarten in back of the Neue Burg is a quiet oasis that includes a statue of a contemplative Franz Josef and an elegant statue of Mozart, moved here from the Albertinaplatz after the war, when the city's charred ruins were being rebuilt. Today the park is one of the most favored time-out spots for the Viennese; the alluring backdrop is formed by the striking former greenhouses that are now the gorgeous Palmenhaus restaurant and the Schmetterlinghaus. Total enchantment awaits you here at Vienna's unique Butterfly House. Inside are towering tropical trees, waterfalls, a butterfly nursery, and more than 150 species on display (usually 400 winged jewels are in residence).
