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 not easy to limit ourselves to a few highlights here, as there is so much to see. However, what you definitely should not 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 beautiful buildings and is perfect for a spring walk. Due to its numerous restaurants, bars, and cozy Viennese pubs with typical beer gardens, Spittelberg is often referred to as a "village in the city." How nice that we can again take advantage of this offering starting today. This neighborhood simply exerts a very special, unique charm. In our opinion, it must be seen. Our tip: The small, romantic alleys are also particularly worth seeing. So be sure not to miss them!

MELANGE IN CAFE WESTEND

We at AKKADIA love coffee, which is why we can’t miss a tip 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 on Mariahilfer Straße, be sure to stop by Westend. As a little pick-me-up, we recommend a classic Viennese Melange with a large piece of apple strudel.

PARADISE FOR ARCHITECTURE ENTHUSIASTS

The Neubau has quite a lot to offer architecturally; there are particularly many Gründerzeit buildings and significant structures such as the Volkstheater or the Palais Trautson. Some special churches can also be found there, such as the Altlerchenfeld parish church, which is of great art-historical significance 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 haven for art and culture enthusiasts.

MAIN LIBRARY ON THE RING

We are particularly pleased that the main library at Urban Loritz Platz is allowed to reopen. The library offers a large selection of various media, great events, and readings. Unfortunately, the latter two must be put on hold for now, but book lovers should definitely keep this in mind. Afterwards, you should also pay a visit to Café Oben. From there, you have a great view of the vibrant activity at the Gürtel.

SPACE FOR CULTURE ...

And because the 7th district is mainly known for its trendy restaurants, we don't want to withhold our absolute local favorite from you: Marks on Neustiftgasse. In an incredibly cozy atmosphere, everyone really gets their money's worth here. Marks offers freshly prepared dishes made from regional products, and both vegans and meat lovers have a wide selection – for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So: If you're in the area, let yourself be pampered at Marks! As you can see, the 7th district, with its original venues and diverse cultural offerings, is simply delightful. Are you considering relocating here? Then we might have the right option for you.
