The Viennese "neighbourhoods"

In Berlin it is called Kiez, in New York Neighborhood, in Madrid Barrio - and in Vienna they are called "Grätzel".
Vienna's Grätzel are colourful and lively. Immerse yourself in the diversity and unique atmosphere of Vienna's vibrant neighbourhoods. But they are much more than that: in a neighbourhood you feel at home and feel life. Each has its own unique atmosphere and unrivalled charm.

For example, the colourful Karmelitermarkt with its exciting Jewish past. Or the Spittelberg with its uneven cobblestones right next to the cultural hotspot MuseumsQuartier with the Leopold Museum, among others. Pleasure streets such as Servitengasse in the French-influenced Servitenviertel or Schleifmühlgasse in the Freihausviertel. The Gusshausviertel with the social meeting place Karlsplatz, the Wien Museum and the Albertina Modern. Or the Stuwerviertel neighbourhood near the Prater. The Kutschkerviertel neighbourhood is also worth a visit.

Which neighbourhood reflects your personality?

Spittelberg - Biedermeier idyll

Vienna's Spittelberg, with its small, romantic alleyways and charming Biedermeier houses, is right next to the MuseumsQuartier. Between Breite Gasse and Sigmundsgasse there is a lively pub scene, from the typical Viennese inn to the chic bar, from the dignified restaurant to the popular student pub. In summer, most of them entice visitors with their pavement cafés (as outdoor dining areas are called in Vienna).

Carmelite Quarter - Between cool & kosherKarmeliterviertel - Zwischen cool & koscher

If you take a trip to the Carmelite Quarter, you will find a relaxed neighbourhood whose Jewish history can still be felt today. The Carmelite neighbourhood is authentic and not polished to a high gloss. An exciting restaurant scene has developed around the Karmelitermarkt, the heart of the neighbourhood.
The Augarten, the oldest baroque garden in the city, is also home to two world-famous Viennese institutions, the Augarten Porcelain Manufactory and the Vienna Boys' Choir.

Gusshaus District

The Gusshaus district can easily be combined with the neighbouring Freihaus district on an exploratory tour. Here, the city feels opulent, global, relaxed and Viennese at the same time. This Viennese neighbourhood has it all, because if you stroll through here, you'll find everything you need. The best place to start is the centrally located Karlsplatz. The completely renovated Vienna Museum, which documents the city's history from Roman times to the present day, is also an inviting place to linger. Our restaurant tip: Café Goldegg!

Freihaus Quarter

Exciting galleries, casual bars, but also classic pubs, unusual second-hand shopping and special sights such as the "Third Man Museum": the Freihausviertel is one of Vienna's hippest and liveliest neighbourhoods - including a remarkable history. Mozart's Magic Flute premiered here in 1791. The Freihausviertel is home to the famous Naschmarkt. Schleifmühlgasse branches off from it and offers further culinary delights, including the best pastries in the Vollpension and the cult Café Anzengruber.
