➡️ Along with these fascinating stories about the history of Austria's "temple of democracy," you'll get to explore its grand halls and see the most striking, naked statue of the god Mars. 😄👌
And to top it off, we'll end the tour with a breathtaking view of the Hofburg Palace from the Parliament's terrace.
