The Spanish equestrian school dates back to Emperor Maximilian II, who was responsible for introducing the famous Lipizzaner horses into Austria in 1562.

Today, it is one of the only places that still practice the classic equestrian style favored by the aristocracy. Watching the famous equestrian shows in the Baroque Winter Equestrian School - held here since the time of Charles VI - is one of the top things to do in Vienna.

Built in 1735, the magnificent hall was designed for the nobility to show off their equestrian skills. Tickets to see these stunning animals perform ballet are highly sought after, so book your tickets online as much in advance as possible.
