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

We continue our blog series in the next district: Ottakring. The 16th district of Vienna not only has its famous brewery of the same name to offer: 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 the 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 Brunnenhausgasse and enjoy the colorful and multicultural atmosphere and the tempting offers – bargaining is explicitly encouraged here! Heading towards Ottakringer Straße, you will then reach Yppenmarkt, which continues the market activities on a former drill ground. So: Switch to relaxed strolling mode.

TANGLED ROOF TERRACE

Arriving at Yppenmarkt, we discovered one of the coolest rooftops in Vienna for you: From the roof of 'WIRR am Brunnenmarkt,' you have a wonderful 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 arrives again, and we can all hopefully enjoy these wonderful moments with friends. Just add it to your to-do list for 2021!

THE 10 MARIE

And since we are currently writing about gastronomy businesses in Ottakring, we must of course tell you about the 10er Marie. The oldest wine tavern in Vienna, located across from the Old Ottakring Parish Church, is a true institution and still a meeting point for prominent artists and politicians today. The name '10er Marie' is derived, on one hand, from the address - Alt-Ottakring No. 10 - and, on the other hand, from the daughter of the original tavern owner. And even though the 10er Marie is off the beaten tourist paths, it is actually always full here in the summer! ;)

THE 16-PAN SQUARE

Who among you has ever heard an order at the sausage stand for "a Eitrige and a 16er-Blech"? This refers, in the finest Viennese dialect, to a Käsekrainer and a Ottakringer beer in a can. The Ottakringer Brewery not only produces - by the way, also award-winning! - beers, but it also serves as an event location. A guided tour of the brewery or attending one of the numerous events is highly 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

If you're feeling cabin fever from all the home office and restrictions during the lockdown, we recommend a walk up to Wilhelminenberg. From the last stop of the U3 subway line, it takes about half an hour to pass by the beautiful Ottakring Cemetery and go up: The climb is rewarded with a fantastic view of the Vienna vineyards – and with a workout for your calves. If that feels like too much movement, the bus line 46A can also take you up to Wilhelminenberg.
