Vienna - The Spanish Riding School

The Spanish Riding School in the Hofburg is a Viennese institution. As one of the few remaining classical riding schools, the school is dedicated to the preservation of the last of the world's Baroque horses. It is renowned for it’s white Lipizzaner stallions which carry out complex dressage manoeuvres to the beautiful sounds of Mozart and Strauss. The audience can view this exquisite ‘equine ballet’ from decorative balconies whilst glittering chandeliers hang from the ceiling. Tickets aren’t cheap, but well worth the price as the stunning displays provided by the school are a once in a lifetime experience.
