The district stretches for miles along the canal, making it a wonderful place for walks, bike rides or a restaurant visit on the waterfront. In addition, the district is known for the "Wiener Prater", a lively area marked by the Prater amusement park with the famous Ferris wheel and the green Praterstern.

If you get hungry after your shopping trip, you can get a snack at Naschmarkt, one of the most famous and largest markets in Vienna.

New building
The name says it all in this district, at least figuratively. The 7th district in Vienna is known as being the place to be for hipsters and modernity. Numerous vegetarian and vegan restaurants, trendy bars and pubs fill the beautiful alleys of this district. The Museumsquartier invites you to relax with a cool drink and a picnic blanket during sunny hours. In case of rainy weather, there is the Museum of Art History on one side of the square or the Museum of Natural History on the other to explore.
Döbling
This district on the outskirts of Vienna offers something unique: Heurigen. Typically, guests at Heurigen sit at rustic wooden tables and enjoy regional products, especially young wine. This is usually accompanied by a hearty Brettljause (snack) from the landlord, which includes regional cold cuts and spread variations as well as homemade bread. The ideal place to really immerse yourself in local gastronomy and food culture!
