WHAT YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT MISS IN THE 7TH DISTRICT OF VIENNA

We continue our blog series with perhaps the most diverse district: Neubau. It's not easy to limit oneself to just a few highlights here, as there is so much to see. However, what you definitely should not cross off your must-see list, we will tell you today.

WALK AT SPITTELBERG

The Spittelberg district is a lovingly revitalized Biedermeier area with countless beautiful buildings and is perfect for a spring walk. Due to its numerous restaurants, bars, and cozy Viennese pubs with typical outdoor seating, Spittelberg is often referred to as a "village in the city." How nice that we can enjoy this offer again starting today. This neighborhood simply has a very special, unique charm. In our opinion, it’s a must-see. Our tip: the small, romantic alleys are particularly worth seeing. So make sure not to miss them!

MELANGE IN CAFFE WESTEND

We at AKKADIA love coffee, so a tip is a must here: Café Westend – a typical institution of the Viennese coffee house scene. With its high, stucco-decorated ceilings, this café has a very special flair and ambiance. So, if you feel the urge for a break after strolling down Mariahilfer Straße, be sure to stop by Westend. As a little boost, we recommend a classic Wiener Melange with a large piece of apple strudel.

PARADISE FOR ARCHITECTURE LOVERS

The new building really has a lot to offer architecturally; there are particularly many Gründerzeit buildings and significant structures like the Volkstheater or the Palais Trautson. There are also some special churches to be found there, such as the Altlerchenfeld parish church, which is very significant in art history as it represents a transitional work between classicism and historicism. One must not forget the MuseumsQuartier, which perfectly combines old buildings with modern architecture and, with over 60 cultural institutions, is a true mecca for art and culture enthusiasts.

MAIN LIBRARY ON THE RING

We are especially pleased that the main library at Urban Loritz Platz is allowed to reopen. The library offers a large selection of many different media, great events, and readings. Unfortunately, we have to forgo the latter two for the time being, but book lovers should definitely keep this in mind. Afterwards, you should also pay a visit to Café Oben. From there, you have a wonderful view of the colorful activities at the Gürtel.

SPACE FOR CULTURE ...

And because the 7th district is primarily known for its trendy restaurants, we don't want to withhold our absolute local favorite from you: Marks in Neustiftgasse. In a wonderfully cozy atmosphere, everyone truly finds something for their taste. Marks offers freshly cooked dishes made from regional products, and both vegans and meat lovers have a wide selection here – for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So: If you are in the area, let yourself be pampered by the flavors at Marks! As you can see, the 7th district with its original establishments and diverse cultural offerings is simply fantastic. Are you considering relocating here? Then we might have just the right place for you.
