Districts - Local Neighbourhoods
# 8 Josefstadt
The smallest district. On the one hand home to solid upper-class people, on the other hand also student homes and municipal apartment buildings can be found in Josefstadt. Makes a good "Viennese Melange". Just like the architecture, which features some beautiful baroque and Biedermeier parts.
# 19 Döbling
The poshest of the "outer" districts. Almost bigger than all the "inner districts" taken together. The Vienna Woods with Kahlenberg and Leopoldsberg, villas of Art Nouveau artists, wine and wine-taverns (Heurige), the oldest football stadium of Vienna, the village were Beethoven wrote his "testament" and a moth-powder factory looking like an oriental palace can be found here.
# 6 Mariahilf
Between Naschmarkt and the main shopping lane Mariahilferstrasse. Situated on a slope to the Vienna river were once wine was grown. Home to "more established" hipsters, to a flak tower that houses the Viennese aquarium, to the famous Otto Wagner Art Nouveau houses and the park where Hans Krankl learned to play Socker.
# 9 Alsergrund
Home of the late-baroque general hospital (Altes AKH) which nowadays houses university institutes and a beautiful park with cafes and restaurants. Sigmund Freud ran his office in Alsergrund (Freud Museum), not far from the place where Beethoven died. The Liechtenstein palace, and the "Strudelhof"stairs complete a walk through this district.
# 11 Long Live Central Cemetary!
The central cemetary is the largest district of Vienna by population. Three million dead Viennese life here, including the who is who of Society like Johann Strauss and Mozart. They have maaany stories to tell! The living also come here simply to enjoy nature. Of course, there is also a coffee house with extremely good cakes and next to the cemetary you find the most inventive Schnitzels in Vienna! Particularly picturesque is the jewish part where Arthur Schnitzler rests, his eyes wide shut.
