Sigmund Freud Park on Postcard

"Next to Vienna's university there's this park which is mostly crowded in summer, when students relocate their activities outdoor. Be there in the late afternoon and watch the sun set behind Votivkirche, which is actually one of the most outstanding neo-Gothic building in the world. Inside there are changing exhibitions and a bunch of pomp. Nevertheless, the area around this sacral masterpiece is full of young people and positive vibes." - Maximilian Mauracher

Nice park.. Live music by a street performer was mind blowing - this made my day. Please look out for a live song by street performer (mostly college girl student) - it is worth waiting and listening!!

We had such a wonderful time to restafter a long walk for an hour on the grass with a magnificent view on the Votiv Church. There are a lot of students having picnics, so the atmosphere is very vivid.

Next to Freud's office, the park has a wide green area and a very beautiful cathedral. People use public spaces a lot and what I enjoyed the most was seeing people reading in parks. There are also many cafes and bars around and people playing classical instruments. Despite a hot day, it was a very good atmosphere.

(Last visit: Aug 2022) A quiet park in the city center. It seems Vienna is riddled with them. People stop by, sit or lay down for minutes, chat, etc. Each park has their thing. I wonder about the history of this one as it hosts a granit table with ten chairs representing Eastern European countries… ?

Sigmund-Freud-Park is a small public park opposite the Votivkirche. It's a nicely maintained green area in a fairly calm area of Vienna, slightly off the tourist circuit were it not for Votivkirche. The park seems popular with the students of the nearby university, but other than that there’s a few monuments in the park to see as well as a couple dedicated to Sigmund Freud for whom the park is named. Not a must see, but worth strolling through if you’re in the area.

In winter, not much. But in spring and summer it's a place to spend time between lectures at the university. People bring blankets and picknick (or just a book). Meanwhile, all around the park, the traffic is roaring.

I love this park. Musicians come here. There's a mister- to keep you cool and you'll need that on hot days. There are free lawn chairs. There are lots of people to watch. The Votiv church is lovely and you can watch it across the street. The park is a stop for both the Big Bus tour and the red and green lines of the hop on hop off tours. Take a picnic like the Viennese do!

This is a very pleasant park for a picnic, close to the city centre but away from the main tourist routes. You can buy something to eat or a cup of coffee in one of the numerous stalls in Schottentor U-bahn/tram terminal.
