Schweizergarten

About Schweizergarten

Schweizergarten is a municipal park in Vienna’s 3rd district, between Wien Hauptbahnhof, the Belvedere area and the Arsenal cultural quarter. The City of Vienna lists the location simply as Schweizergarten, 1030 Vienna; Vienna’s tourist board gives Schweizer-Garten-Straße as the visitor address. The park covers about 115,000 square metres.

The landscape combines lawns and mature or exotic trees with large ponds, rock features, fountains and an alpine planting area. Play facilities include swings, slides, sand and water play, a trampoline, fitness equipment, football areas and table tennis. Two designated dog zones are inside the park. Art in the grounds includes Krzysztof Bednarski’s Chopin monument, La Note Bleue. Belvedere 21 stands at the park, but it is a separate museum with its own entry and opening schedule.

The City’s current Schweizergarten page does not publish separate park gate hours. Do not substitute the hours of attractions inside or beside the park. In particular, the Familienbad Schweizergarten is a seasonal children’s outdoor pool with admission rules and weather-dependent hours, while the youth sports ground follows its own access system. Check those operators separately if either facility is the purpose of your visit. The municipal park page also does not state a park admission charge. For current maintenance or access questions, use the City of Vienna Parks and Gardens contact listed on the official page at +43 1 4000-8042. The varied elevations, ponds and water-play areas make route and supervision planning useful for visitors with young children.
