This guided stables tour of the Lipizzaner horses is really interesting and informative and proved to be the highlight of my stay in Vienna. Great value for money and highly recommended.

Excellent tour of the training grounds and stables. Lots of really great history imparted by the young, personable, knowledgeable guide. Seeing the horses was very special too!

About: Spanish Riding School

The world-famous Spanish Riding School is the training ground for riders and their Lipizzan horses - Europe's oldest breed of horse. It's located between Michaelerplatz and Josefsplatz inside the Hofburg, in central Vienna. The 'Spanish' in the title refers to the Spanish heritage of the horses.

This beautiful building has been an equestrian training center for more than 450 years. Guests can enter and watch these amazing horses learn the ropes and reins, in preparation for their performances in the Winter Riding School (Winterreitschule) in the Hofburg.
