The wide areas create a comfortable space for the animals and the staff of experts make sure they are very well attended.The administration of the zoo places significant focus on conservation and animal welfare.We recommend allocating around 4–5 hours to visit for your visit and check the feeding schedule.

Church of the Most Holy Trinity (Wotruba Church)

The church is a fine example of classic brutalist and cubist architecture, designed by the architect Fritz Wotruba. 152 concrete blocks have been assembled to form this unique-looking structure, with windows have been built into the remaining spaces. As strikingly different as the facade might look, the inside resembles a familiar church interior.
