The central 1st District, Innere Stadt, is Vienna’s old town, encircled by the grand Ringstrasse boulevard. Gothic St. Stephen’s Cathedral has views of Stephansplatz square from its tower. Whilst the district is quite a broad area, the beauty of Vienna is in every prestigious street and a huge reason of why this is a UNESCO Heritage World Site. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Hofburg Palace, the Spanish Riding School, the Albertina, the Opera all sit within the ringstrasse and give you a real feel of this empires heritage.
Up & Coming: Wieden
Wieden which is the 4th District in Vienna is very close to to Karlsplatz and is a more bohemian, younger district of this historic city. The Freihaus neighborhood is home to galleries, bookstores and shops run by local designers. quirky bars, cafes and eateries draw a hip urban crowd. There are still some characteristically Austrian touches such as the Belvedere Palace, Botanical Gardens and Naschmarkt to give you a little of all worlds in this area.
