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 ourselves to just a few highlights here, as there is an incredible amount 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 Vienna taverns with typical gardens, Spittelberg is often referred to as a "village in the city." How nice that we can take advantage of this offer again starting today. This neighborhood simply exudes a special, unique charm. In our opinion, it is a must-see. 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, so here’s 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 on Mariahilfer Straße, be sure to stop by Westend. As a small treat, we recommend a classic Viennese Melange with a large piece of apple strudel.

PARADISE FOR ARCHITECTURE LOVERS

The new district has a lot to offer architecturally; there are particularly many Gründerzeit buildings and significant structures such as the Volkstheater and the Palais Trautson. There are also some special churches, like 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 is also a true mecca for art and culture enthusiasts with its over 60 cultural institutions.

MAIN LIBRARY ON THE BELT

We are particularly pleased that the main library at Urban Loritz Platz is allowed to reopen. The library offers a wide range of various media, great events, and readings. Unfortunately, both of the latter must currently be put on hold, but book lovers should definitely keep this in mind. Afterwards, you should also pay a visit to Café Oben. From there, you have a fantastic view of the colorful goings-on 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 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 here – for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So: If you are in the area, let yourself be spoiled with flavors at Marks! As you can see, the 7th district with its original local spots and diverse cultural offerings is simply dreamy. Are you considering relocating your place of residence here? Then we might have just the right option for you.
