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

We continue our blog series with probably the most diverse district: Neubau. It's not easy to narrow it down to a few highlights here, as there is a tremendous amount 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 taverns with typical gardens, Spittelberg is often referred to as a "village in the city." How wonderful that we can enjoy this offer again starting today. This neighborhood simply has a very special, unique charm. In our opinion, it must be seen. Our tip: The small, romantic alleys are also particularly worth seeing. So don't miss them!

MIXTURE AT CAFÉ WESTEND

We at AKKADIA love coffee, which is why we can't miss giving 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 down Mariahilfer Straße, be sure to stop by Westend. As a little boost, we recommend a classic Viennese melange with a large piece of apple strudel.

PARADISE FOR ARCHITECTURE ENTHUSIASTS

Neubau has a lot to offer architecturally; there are especially many Gründerzeit buildings and significant structures such as the Volkstheater or the Palais Trautson. There are also some notable churches, such as the Altlerchenfelder 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 is also a true mecca for art and culture enthusiasts with its over 60 cultural institutions.

MAIN LIBRARY ON THE RING

We are especially pleased that the main library at Urban Loritz Square is allowed to reopen. The library offers a wide range of various media, great events, and readings. Unfortunately, the latter two must currently be foregone, but book lovers should definitely keep this in mind. Afterwards, you should also visit Café Oben. From there, you have a wonderful view of the colorful hustle and bustle 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 truly finds something to enjoy here. Marks offers freshly cooked dishes made from regional products, and both vegans and meat lovers have a great selection – for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So: If you are in the area, let yourself be indulged in taste at Marks! As you can see, the 7th district with its original establishments and diverse cultural offerings is simply fantastic. Are you considering moving your place of residence here? Then we might have just the right thing for you.
