Schmetterlinghaus

The Butterfly House is a tropical butterfly zoo in the northwest wing of the Palm House on the edge of Vienna's Burggarten. The historic glasshouse was built in 1901 and reopened in 1998 after a extensive, full-scale renovation. Across 280 square meters, you'll experience a re-created rain forest landscape with constantly warm temperatures and high humidity. Around 400 butterflies from about 150 different species fly freely here. Because none of the species on display are protected, the house offers a lively glimpse into the diversity of the tropical insect world, set within the historic architecture of the Innere Stadt district.
