Danube Tower

At 826 feet high, and the tallest structure in Austria, the Danube Tower is one of the most iconic landmarks along Vienna’s skyline. Overlooking the old city, Danube Park and Vienna Woods, it promises unspoilt panoramas across the city from a unique perspective. Take one of the two express elevators up and admire the views – there’s even a rotating restaurant, too.

- If you forgo the speedy 35 second lifts to the viewing platform, there are 775 steps to climb to the top (only in an emergency!)
- The spire on the tower is actually a radio transmitter and carries phone networks, private and public radio stations

At 155m high the viewing platform offers spectacular views over Vienna. Step out onto the open air platform and zoom in on your favourite landmark or monument to familiarise yourself with Austria’s capital. For as far as the eye can see, this unspoilt panorama will keep you entertained for hours. Don’t worry if it starts to rain, there’s a covered terrace which is open all year round, no matter the weather. If you fancy extending your visit, there is a choice of eateries on the higher levels including a simple café to high-end à la carte.
