The Eurovision Young Musicians Final will be held at the Vienna Town Hall Square in front of a live audience of around 45,000 people.

The Vienna Town Hall is one of the most splendid amongst the numerous monumental buildings. Designed by Friedrich Schmidt (1825-1891), it was erected between 1872 and 1883. It was built in gothical style, with a tower similar to gothic cathedrals. The tower measures 321 feet, not including the "Iron Knight of Town Hall" (Eiserner Rathausmann) who measures almost 20 feet to the top of his pennant. This knight on top of the tower has become one of the symbols of Vienna.

The Town Hall is the seat of the mayor and governor of Vienna (with Vienna being both a city and a state since 1922, these functions are combined in one person), of the City Council and of the Assembly. It also houses the Municipal and State Libraries and Archives which hold many key documents of Vienna's history and a large collection of local memorabilia. On both sides of the approach from the Ring (closed to motor vehicles), statues honor personalities who left their mark on the history of the city.

The Town Hall is surrounded by a magnficent park (Rathauspark or The Park of Town Hall), an attractively laid-out garden with two fountains and several interesting monuments.  Attractions include the memorial to the painter F. G. Waldmüller and the statues of two great composers of waltzes, Johann Strauss Father and Joseph Lanner. Facing the Burgtheater across the Ring are monuments to President Theodor Körner (1873-1957) and Mayor Karl Seitz (1869-1950).
