Local gems in Vienna
Beyond Vienna's well-trodden tourist routes lie places that locals genuinely treasure. The Augarten and the Lainzer Tiergarten offer quiet escapes into nature within the city, while the Donauinsel and the Danube Canal invite leisurely walks along the water. Architecturally, the Loos House and the vividly decorated Spittelau Incinerator reward a closer look. The MuseumsQuartier, the Prater, Karlskirche, and Peterskirche each reveal a different side of the city, and the Liechtenstein Garden alongside the Ernst Happel Stadion round out a portrait of a Vienna that goes well beyond its famous facades.
