Volksgarten-The Folks Garden


Vienna is a very green city with lots of public places to relax and enjoy a peaceful place within the city limits. The Volksgarten is a place very popular with local Vienna residents and is known for its vast array of roses with a scent that can travel several blocks. I was amazed by the number of people who use the park to read a book, relax, or simply walk around its beautiful garden. The parks location is in the Northwest corner of the Innere Stadt accross the street from the Austrian Parliment. I think it was well planned to have the "peoples garden" so close to the center of Austria's Legislature and represents a connection to the people.
