The Spanish Riding School is the oldest riding academy in the world, where the traditions of classical horsemanship are preserved and celebrated today.

Located within the Hofburg Palace, you can marvel at the stunning Baroque interior of the Winter Riding School where horses are trained in classical riding. The horses are of the Lipizzaner breed, a favorite of the Habsburg monarchy and are characterized by their white-gray coloring and famous for their elegant movements.

Watch how the riders move their experienced school and young stallions and listen to commentary in both English and German. Classical Viennese music completes the magical atmosphere.
