Vienna’s 7th district – Neubau has established itself as one of the city’s most creative and sought-after neighbourhoods. The MuseumsQuartier, Spittelberg, Mariahilfer Strasse and a dense concentration of cafés, galleries and independent shops make it a magnet for design-conscious visitors and culture enthusiasts. The narrow streets and lively character of the district are part of its charm – with luggage after a long flight, however, a direct transfer is the more relaxed way to arrive.
