The University of Vienna offers guided tours through the main building.

In 1884, Emperor Franz Joseph I inaugurated the new main building of the University of Vienna on the Ringstrasse, which had been erected by the architect Heinrich von Ferstel.

The guided tours, which are available both in German and English, provide an insight into the interiors of the oldest university in the German‐speaking cultural area. Highlights of the tour are the Arcade Court in the shape of a "campo santo", the Main Ceremonial Chamber (whenever available) with its renowned ceiling, decorated with copies of the mural paintings by Gustav Klimt and the Great Reading Room of the University Library.
