Vienna’s 16th to 19th Districts

Vienna’s 16th to 19th districts are known for their rich history and cultural landmarks.

16th District

The 16th district, Ottakring, is home to a diverse community and boasts stunning views of the city. Home to the Famous Ottakring brewery, Vienna’s last remaining brewery within the city.

Top Experience

• Ottakringer Brewery: You can sign up for guided tours with at least ten people, but you can also make an appointment by yourself for an “open date,” which means you get a tour with other people. Monday to Friday 9-5:30.
• Yppenplatz square: A glorious sport to linger over brunch
• BrunnenMarkt: You can easily reach this market on foot from the Brewery and There you will find different spices, vegetables, fresh fish and some restaurants. And the atmosphere there is simply amazing.

Hernals is the 17^th district. Apart from its remarkable geographical location, this district is also very popular due to its numerous tourist attractions:

18th District

Währing, the 18th District, is an affluent residential area and one of Vienna’s greenest neighbourhoods and also because many doctors live here and work in the traditional “medical” district Alsergrund (the 9th district on the other side).

The 18^th district is also known as a noble neighbourhood, amongst others because there are many embassies: Israel, the Republic of Korea, the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, and Ukraine.
