Across the canal from the old town — the great Prater park with its Ferris wheel, riverside paths, and a quiet, up-and-coming local feel. Green, spacious and a short walk or U-Bahn from the centre; where to stay for calm and value.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 10.The Prater & the Riesenrad — The great public park across the canal, and the giant 1897 Ferris wheel that crowns it — a slow, romantic turn over the whole city, straight out of The Third Man. Around it, an old-fashioned funfair and miles of green to walk or cycle.
- 15.A Heuriger wine tavern — Vienna is the only world capital with real vineyards inside its limits, and the heurigen are where the new wine is poured — rustic taverns in the wine villages of Grinzing and Nussdorf, with cold cuts and a garden. Take tram D or the 38; utterly local.
