Reviews of Liechtenstein (Lichtenstein) Garden Palace

We visited the Liechtenstein Palace gardens in early May 2009. Although they are well maintained and would be a nice place to take a break, they are not a garden that I would recommend making a special trip to see if you are either a plantsman or landscaper with limited time to visit Vienna.

If you are a plantsman, be sure to go to the Alpine garden at the Belvedere Place.

The exhibition "Oasen der Stille" shows an excellent compilation of historic pictures of landscape parks in the imperial Viennese area. Unfortunately it does not mention whether the gardens still exist or even what their names are nowadays such as Eisgrub = Lednice.
The Liechtenstein park though only reconstructed in recent years is reduced in size by several fences on its sides, but has still got its huge old trees and when I visited it in autumn gave a hint of this sweet morbid Vienna feeling...
Its interesting to compare the exhibitions plans of the baroque garden from 1730 and the landscape garden around 1800 with the new modern integrating concept of Cordula Loidl-Reisch 2004.
