The Lower Austria/Vienna region
The heart of Vienna, the Innere Stadt (Inner City), was once surrounded by protective walls. The walls were razed in 1857, and in their place a broad boulevard, the Ringstrasse, was built and subsequently lined with imposing buildings, monuments, and parks. Among the more important structures here are the town hall (Rathaus, 1872-1883), the Burgtheater (1874-1888), the University (1873-1883), the Parliament (1883), and the State Opera (1861-1869), which was burned in 1945 and rebuilt in 1955. Also here is the Hofburg, the former imperial palace, the oldest part of which was built during the 13th century. The Gothic Saint Stephen's Cathedral (rebuilt 13th-15th century) in the centre of the Inner City has a 113-m (370-ft) steeple that can be seen from all parts of Vienna.
Beyond the Ringstrasse was a secondary fortified wall, the Gürtel, which also was torn down to make space for the expanding suburbs during the second part of the 19th century. These suburban settlements were eventually incorporated into the city, and a pattern of radiating roads connects them with the Innere Stadt. The names of these districts are a reminder of the former autonomous suburban settlements. Industries are today located mostly in the southern and eastern districts. The Danube Canal, which branches south of the Danube River, was completed in the 1880s.
The Innere Stadt borders the canal to the south, and Vienna's second most important district is located between the canal and the Danube. Across the Danube are newer districts; it is here that the new international centre has been built. The greatest period of building in the city was between 1870 and 1890, which was also the period of the most rapid population growth. Vienna's population was approximately 2.4 million in 1918. Much of the large foreign population migrated after World War I to the various successor states of the monarchy.
Vienna's many monumental buildings reflect the city's cultural importance, and although the city exhibits a certain harmonious aspect, its buildings are of many different architectural styles. Gothic, Renaissance, baroque, and typical Austrian Biedermeier structures are found together with early 20th-century barracklike apartment buildings and modern apartment buildings of the post-World War II period.
Vienna City / Mariahilferstrasse area
Mariahilf (6th District) -- One of Vienna's busiest shopping streets, Mariahilferstrasse, runs through this bustling neighborhood. The sprawling, lively Naschmarkt (produce market), selling fresh fruits, vegetables, breads, cheeses, and more, is ideal for people-watching. On Saturdays, the adjacent Flohmarkt (flea market) adds to the lively but sometimes seedy atmosphere as vendors sell antiques and junk. The surrounding streets are packed with beisls (small eateries), theaters, cafes, and pubs. Farther from the city centre, you'll find that the landscape becomes more residential.
How to get there
