Vienna’s 13th district – Hietzing is one of the city’s greenest and most tranquil areas. Schönbrunn Palace, the Vienna Zoo and the generous villa neighbourhoods around Hietzing and Ober St. Veit make it a preferred address for families and international guests who want the calm of a residential district without sacrificing proximity to the city centre. The route to the airport runs directly via the A23 and A4 motorways – one of the less congested exits from Vienna.
