The Butterfly House

In the heart of Vienna, you will discover a unique, tropical oasis of peace and relaxation: the Butterfly House. Housed in one of the most stunning Art Nouveau buildings in the world, you will enter a fantastic realm dedicated to the most delicate and colorful creatures - the butterflies.

Unique Flying Theater

At the Butterfly House, you can admire around 500 freely-living and flying butterflies all year round. Let yourself be enchanted by their extraordinary colors and observe the ease with which these delicate beings flutter through the sunlit building, past waterfalls and exotic plants, close to their natural habitat.

Historic Architectural Gem

You will find the Butterfly House directly in the heart of Vienna, located behind the Hofburg Palace on the edge of the Burggarten, just about 100 meters from the Albertina and 200 meters from the State Opera. In the beautiful Art Nouveau building that houses the Butterfly House today, even Emperor Franz Josef I found peace and relaxation in his time. Now, it's your turn to enjoy the paradise-like atmosphere and the unique flora and fauna in the Butterfly House.
