Kursalon Hübner

[1] In 1857, Emperor Franz Josef I ordered the demolition of all of the fortifications, which were replaced by the Ring Boulevard as the city expanded.

1862 marked the opening of 65,000 m2 City Park, located in adjacent territory and designed by the landscape painter Josef Selleny.

In the late 1990s the city government decided to sell the venue to the Hübner family.

[3] Now the Kursalon comprises four ballrooms on two floors, a 1,000 square meter large terrace, and a restaurant.

Apart from concerts, the Kursalon serves as a place for conferences, balls, weddings, and is one of the main tourist attractions in Vienna.
