Schmetterlinghaus

  Schmetterlinghaus, nestled in the heart of Vienna's Burggarten, serves as a tropical butterfly house where the delicate beauty of nature comes alive. This unique attraction, established in 1998 within a historic art nouveau greenhouse, showcases around 400 species of butterflies, some soaring up to 12 centimeters in wingspan. Visitors can stroll through a lush environment, featuring exotic plants and small water features that recreate a tropical habitat. Open year-round, the best time to visit is during the warmer months—from March to October—when butterflies are particularly active. Guests can enjoy observing these vibrant creatures up close or participating in educational programs that delve into their fascinating lifecycle.
