The walk continues through Hero Square toward the Spanish Riding School, introducing the elegant Lipizzan horses that have danced their way into history. Strolling along Kohlmarkt, Vienna’s premier shopping street, the scent of freshly baked pastries from Demel confectionery tempts the senses, while stops at St. Peter’s Church and the Plague Column deepen appreciation for Vienna’s layered past.
