The Neptune Fountain is a beautiful piece of art on the Schonbrunn gardens, facing the palace. It is also a place where you feel refreshed on a warm day, just by the sheer sound of water and the cool breeze it produces. You can miss it, it is a prominent piece in the gardens, and worth getting upfront to to see the beautiful sculptures.

The Albrechtsbrunnen is a fountain on the lower level of the Albertina museum. The fountain is named after Field Marshal Archduke Albrecht of Austria-Teschen, who at that time also lived in the Albertina. The fountain is also known as Danubiusbrunnen for all the allegorical sculptures representing the main rivers of the then Austro-Hungarian Empire, including the River Danube from which the fountain takes it’s alternative name. Other rivers featured include Tisza , Mur , Salzach , March , Rába , Enns and Traun. The fountain and sculptures are awe inspiring as it was intended to show off the power and size of Austria-Hungary. Oddly for a fountain. Water actually plays a small part of this structure. It’s more about the sculptures than a fountain. The fountain is well worth a look and easy to find if you’re planning on visiting the Albertina anyway.
