Best areas in Vienna to book accommodation
When visiting Vienna it’s best to stay as close to the 1st district as possible. This area includes the Innere Stadt and is where many of Vienna’s top sights are such as Stephansdom, the Graben, Rathaus, Volksgarten and many of highlights of the city. You can use the map above to find centrally located accommodation.
Vienna is also a very walkable city so if you’re fairly close to this area then you should be able to walk around and see many of the attractions.
Another area that we like is the 7th district which is just west of the 1st (they circle around the center), and from here you will be within walking distance of Mariahilferstrasse which is a great place to go shopping, as well as a short transit distance to the Schönbrunn Palace (west), or the center of the city (which is east).
