Viewpoints in Vienna

Kahlenberg is a 484-metre hill in the Vienna Woods offering sweeping views over the city, the Danube, and the vineyards of the wine villages below. It's the starting point for hikes and the climax of Vienna's Heurigen wine culture.

The Donauturm (Danube Tower) is Vienna's tallest structure at 252 metres, built in 1964 on the edge of Donaupark. Its observation deck at 150 metres offers 360° views of the city, Danube, and on clear days, the Carpathian foothills.

The Gloriette is a triumphant Baroque colonnade perched on a hill behind Schönbrunn Palace, built in 1775 as a memorial to the Habsburg military. Its café terrace offers one of Vienna's most picturesque panoramas.
