Vienna’s 22nd district – Donaustadt is one of the city’s fastest-growing areas. The DC Tower, UNO City, the Donaucity business district and the Donauinsel make it a hub for international organisations, corporations and business travellers. What makes the 22nd district particularly notable for airport transfers: it is closer to Vienna-Schwechat Airport than almost any other district in the city.
