B	Bojan Benko on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of my favourite places in Vienna. A really big and pretty monument. There is a big fountain in the centre and it changes colours at night. In days when its hot this fountain brings you refreshment that you need...really cool place to visit
v	vivek jain on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were walking down the streets and a water fountain caught our attention. This turned out to be an amazing historical site 'Heroes monument of red army dating back to the end of WWII in 1945. Would be a great help if an English translation is kept on the site. Nonetheless worth visiting.
m	macedonboy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This monument stands in tribute to the over 17 thousand Soviet soldiers who died in the liberation of Vienna in the latter stages of the Second World War. The design of the monument is fairly typical of Soviet War memorials, post World War Two. The monument consists of a central column topped with a sculpture of a Soviet soldier with a semi-circular colonnade behind the column. The Soviet soldier is depicted also in fairly typical fashion, armed with a machine gun, holding a Soviet flag. Distinctive feature is the golden helmet and a round golden shield. The monument stands in a prominent location near Palais Schwarzenberg. A little way from the main tourist district, but worth the effort if you have time

A	Arcadio Arcadio on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It will be a very nice monument once we change it's name for Ukraine. Unfortunatelly the semi-glorious past of soviet liberators is currently a very strong narrative fuel to push Russia into war in Ukraine.
Z	Zeeshan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice monument with a lot of history behind it. The fountain infront is spectacular and if you are tired and lay down on one of the benches nearby then you would feel so relaxed as someone has switched on an air conditioner and it will take few seconds for you to go in deep sleep. I was so tired of exploring when I reached there and had a lovely one hour nap. Recommended!
L	Lovina Vargas on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a beautiful sight to see both during the day and night. At night is the most wonderful in my opinion because of the lightshow in the fountain, and during summer it is not as hot if you go there in the evening early night as there is a refreshing breeze. Do not drink the water in the fountain as it is not meant to be drunk.
D	Dimitirs Tsiaras on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Both the monument and the fountain are quite beautiful. Take a moment to admire this place and take some nice pictures, especially after sunset when the fountain is illuminated with colors. It is a mesmerising spectacle to see.
