WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT MISS IN THE 7TH DISTRICT OF VIENNA

We continue our blog series with perhaps the most diverse district: Neubau. It's quite a challenge to limit ourselves to just a few highlights here, as there is so much to see. However, what you absolutely shouldn't remove from your must-see list, we will tell you today.

WALK AT SPITTELBERG

The Spittelberg district is a lovingly revitalized Biedermeier area with countless beautifully designed buildings and is perfect for a spring stroll. Due to its numerous restaurants, bars, and cozy Viennese taverns with typical beer gardens, Spittelberg is often referred to as a "village in the city." How wonderful that we can take advantage of this offer again starting today. This neighborhood simply has a special, unique charm. In our opinion, it must be seen. Our tip: The small, romantic alleys are particularly worth seeing. So make sure not to miss them!

MELANGE IN CAFE WESTEND

We at AKKADIA love coffee, which is why we can't miss giving you a tip: 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 along Mariahilfer Straße, be sure to stop by Westend. As a small refreshment, we recommend a classic Viennese Melange with a large piece of apple strudel.

PARADISE FOR ARCHITECTURE ENTHUSIASTS

New construction has a lot to offer architecturally; there are particularly many Gründerzeit houses and significant buildings such as the People's Theatre or the Palais Trautson. There are also some special churches to be found there, like the Old Lerchenfeld Parish Church, which is of great art historical significance as it represents a transitional work between Classicism and Historicism. One should not forget the MuseumsQuartier, which perfectly combines old buildings with modern architecture and, with over 60 cultural institutions, is a true paradise 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, the latter two must currently be suspended, but book lovers should definitely keep this in mind. Afterward, you should also pay a visit to Café Oben. From there, you have a great view of the colorful hustle and bustle on the Gürtel.

SPACE FOR CULTURE ...

And because the 7th district is especially 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 really gets their money's worth here. Marks offers freshly cooked dishes made from regional products, and both vegans and meat lovers have a large selection here – for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So: If you're in the area, let yourself be spoiled by the flavors at Marks! As you can see, the 7th district is simply dreamy with its original eateries and diverse cultural offerings. Are you considering making this your home base? Then we might have just the right thing for you here.
