Blechturmgasse 33

The 5th district, also known as "Margareten", is located in the heart of Vienna. In addition to its excellent infrastructure with numerous local suppliers, shopping streets and transport connections, the fifth district is a district of colourful hustle and bustle amidst its coffee house classics and new modern restaurants. With the "Naschmarkt", this is home to the largest and probably most famous market in the city centre with its special flair of market stalls and international locations.

The 5th district of Vienna experienced a special upswing also because of its immediate vicinity to the new central station. In recent years, not only the most modern and largest railway station in Austria has been built here, but also large-scale urban development areas such as the Sonnwendviertel and the Belvedere quarter. Under the efforts of local and international real estate developers and urban policy, housing for tens of thousands of people has been created here and large companies and corporations have settled here.

Margareten is the district where culture and architecture meet Viennese charm. Already Bruno Kreisky, Falco and Hans Moser have lived here and it is no wonder, because hardly any other district embodies the versatility of Vienna as much as the 5th district. Blechturmgasse 33 is located in the middle of one of the most beautiful residential areas of the 5th district. Both traffic connections, the underground station Hauptbahnhof can be reached in 5 minutes on foot, and the local supply leaves nothing to be desired by the residents. Especially the proximity to the Naschmarkt, the culinary Mecca of Vienna, makes gourmet hearts beat faster.

Discover the surroundings

Belvedere

Originally built by Prince Eugene at the beginning of the 18th century, the Belvedere today houses an extensive garden and a museum of art. The sloping hillside location of the garden was taken as an occasion to dedicate the sculptures on display to the theme of the ascent from the underworld to Mount Olympus, which introduces visitors to Greek mythology. Directly next to the Belvedere, the botanical garden of the University of Vienna, which is open to the public, invites visitors to relax. In the Upper Belvedere, which today offers rooms for artistic and historical insights into historical Austria, the State Treaty of Austria was signed in 1955.

Schönburg Palace

After the unsuccessful attempt to use the Palais Schönburg commercially as a hotel, the palace was completely renovated a few years ago. Especially the architecture and the extensive garden made the Palais, which was built at the beginning of the 18th century by the architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt, popular as an event location. Today the baroque jewel shines through its proximity to the centre, surrounded by its magnificent park.

Naschmarkt

The Naschmarkt is considered the largest inner city market in Vienna. The Viennese Naschmarkt owes its special flair to its mixture of market stalls and pubs, which join together in a snake shape in the middle of the left and right Wienzeile. The Naschmarkt is a well-known Viennese sight and from a culinary point of view it is an essential part of any sightseeing tour.

Central Station

More than 30,000 new residential units have been built around the area of the central station in recent years. The central station has thus had a strong influence on the cityscape of Vienna. Since the complete opening of the central station in 2015, more than 145,000 passengers have been travelling here daily, making it the most frequented station in Austria. In addition to long-distance trains to all of Europe, local public transport is also seamlessly integrated into the infrastructure of the central station. Both the U1 underground and the S-Bahn and tram lines converge at this transport hub. In addition to local and long-distance traffic, the complex also offers a shopping centre with more than 20,000m².

Castle square

Tucked away in the historical core of the 5th district, and less than 2 minutes' walk from Margaretenplatz, is the Schlossquadrat, a building complex with a history that goes back to the 14th century. Today the former estate invites you to enjoy and linger. You can quickly escape the hustle and bustle of the city here, through the idyllic Schanigärten of the Schlossquadrat, with a rich selection of culinary delights.
