Residenz Fountain on Residenzplatz

Nice way to cool down after a tiring walk to the fortress. For many tourists, the fountain also serves as a fountain of fortune - at least judging by the coins in the fountain.

The Residenzbrunnen can be described as a real landmark. After a lengthy renovation phase, it shines as fresh as when it was completed in 1661.
The largest baroque fountain in Central Europe was made of Untersberg marble and presents itself with a scene from Greek mythology in which the god of the sea Triton lolls in the water with hippocamps and dolphins. This is definitely a great photo opportunity! In winter, the well is completely packed up and all water is emptied so that frost cannot damage it.

The Fiaker tours start at Residenzplatz.
A 25-minute horse-drawn carriage tour through the central and southeastern old town is available from Residenzplatz. The western old town with its narrow streets, such as the well-known Getreidegasse, is not used. The approx. 50-minute Fiaker round trip would also lead through the new town past the Mirabell Gardens.
