Türkenschanzpark

Türkenschanzpark

Türkenschanzpark is one of Vienna’s most elegant and diverse historic parks, located in the 18th district (Währing). Known for its landscaped design, mature trees, and gently winding paths, the park combines botanical richness with architectural elements and elevated viewpoints.

Originally laid out in the late 19th century, Türkenschanzpark reflects the style of a classic landscape garden. Its layout features curved pathways, small hills, ornamental plantings, and carefully composed sightlines. The park is especially appreciated for its variety of tree species, including many rare and exotic specimens.

Atmosphere

Türkenschanzpark offers:

• Rolling lawns and shaded woodland areas
• Ornamental gardens and seasonal flower displays
• The Paulinenwarte observation tower with panoramic views
• A calm, residential atmosphere away from tourist crowds

Throughout the year, the park changes character. In spring and summer, flowering shrubs and green canopies dominate the scenery. In autumn, the foliage creates warm, layered colors across the hills. Even in winter, the park maintains a quiet, structured beauty.
