You cannot leave Vienna before having admired
the world’s most famous horses! With this ActiLingua
excursion you can watch the Lipizzans during their morning
training exercising to the sound of classical music.
Morning training takes place in the same location as regular
performances: in the "most beautiful riding hall
of the world" erected by Fischer von Erlach
for Emperor Karl VI directly within the Imperial castle (Hofburg).
After a detailed introduction to the fascinating history and
cultural impact of the Lipizzans and the Spanish Riding School
we will visit the Lipizzan museum which is
situated above the stables at the 'Stallburg'.
Here you can review at leisure what you have heard and seen,
watch an impressive film on the history of the Lipizzans and
maybe buy an intriguing book on the famous horses as a souvenir.
