The story

Story · Heldenplatz

en
nl

You're standing on Heldenplatz in Vienna, which means Heroes' Square. To the north and east rises the Hofburg, the old imperial palace. Along the other sides runs the Ringstraße. The Austrian president lives in one of the Hofburg's wings today, and the Federal Chancellery is just next door on Ballhausplatz. So this is the political heart of the country.
