Description

Cutting through the park, exit at its east corner (near the Palmenhaus) and make your way up to the large terrace overlooking Albertinaplatz (the directions at the end of episode 07 include the option to take an elevator). 
From this vantage point, you’ll hear about the Albertina Museum collection and its revolutionary original admission policy, see Vienna’s Monument Against War and Fascism (the city’s first memorial to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust), learn about the political turmoil in Austria during the period leading up to the Second World War, indulge in some of Vienna’s most beloved street food (with tips on how to order a sausage and beer in Viennese dialect), and get the scoop on one of the city’s iconic deserts with the origin legend of the famous Sachertorte.
