The historic and prestigious Spanish Riding School in Vienna is housed inside The Hofburg, the official residence and workplace of the President of Austria and the former principal imperial palace of the Habsburg dynasty. This institution dates back four centuries and preserves classical equestrian art in this "high school for the horse", as the majestic Lipizzaner stallions demonstrate their elite training while accompanied by classical Viennese music. Visitors can view horse-training sessions, demonstrations, and a guided architectural tour of the magnificent building. A coffee shop is also available on the premises.
