WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT MISS IN THE 16TH DISTRICT OF VIENNA

We continue with our blog series in the next district: Ottakring. The 16th district of Vienna has more to offer than just its famous brewery of the same name: There is definitely more to enjoy here than just beer! From the Vienna Woods to the Lerchenfelder Gürtel, there is much to discover and experience.

THE LONGEST MARKET IN THE CITY

What would Vienna be without its Brunnenmarkt? After Naschmarkt, it is the second largest market in Vienna and, with around 170 stalls and 948 meters, the longest permanent street market in Europe. Start from Thaliastraße into Brunnengasse and enjoy the colorful and multicultural atmosphere along with the tempting offers – bargaining is explicitly welcome here! Heading towards Ottakringer Straße, you will then reach Yppenmarkt, which continues the market activity on a former drill ground. So: Turn on the relaxed strolling mode.

MISCELLANEOUS ROOFTERRACE

Arriving at Yppenmarkt, we discovered one of the coolest rooftop terraces in Vienna for you: From the roof of 'WIRR am Brunnenmarkt,' you have a magnificent view of the hustle and bustle of the market all the way to Brunnengasse. Absolutely recommended, whether for coffee, a spritzer, or a meal – as soon as spring comes again, and we all hopefully can spend these wonderful moments with friends. Just add it to your to-do list for 2021 now!

THE 10 MARIE

And since we're just writing about restaurants in Ottakring, we must of course tell you about the 10er Marie. The oldest wine tavern in Vienna, located opposite the old Ottakring parish church, is a true institution and still a meeting point for prominent artists and politicians today. The name '10er Marie' originates from the address - Alt-Ottakring No. 10 - and also from the daughter of the original tavern keeper. And even though the 10er Marie is off the beaten tourist path: it's actually always full here in the summer! ;)

THE 16ER SHEET

Who among you has ever heard an order for "a Eitrige and a 16er-Blech" at the sausage stand? Here, in the finest Viennese dialect, it refers to a Käsekrainer and a can of Ottakringer beer. The Ottakringer Brewery not only produces (by the way, award-winning!) beers, but also serves as an event location. A tour of the brewery or attending one of the numerous events is definitely recommended, thanks to the unique combination of diverse historical architecture and state-of-the-art event technology. And: Deliveries from the "16th beer district" can currently also be ordered online!

OUTLET AT WILHELMINENBERG

For those who might feel overwhelmed with working from home and restrictions during the lockdown, we recommend a walk up to Wilhelminenberg. From the final station of the U-Bahn line U3, it takes about half an hour to get there, passing by the beautiful Ottakring Cemetery: The climb is rewarded with a fantastic view over the Viennese vineyards – and it also serves as a workout for strong calves. If that still feels like too much exercise: The bus line 46A will also take you to Wilhelminenberg.
