Danube Tower

4.6(21,402)out of 5 on GoogleOpen · until 22:00📍 Donaustadt · 22nd district

Danube Tower is a lookout point, and it belongs to Donaustadt & the Danube — the 22nd district, across the Danube. It is 2.8 km north of Wiener Riesenrad (Giant Ferris Wheel) — a transport journey rather than a walk. The address is Donauturmplatz 1, 1220 Wien.

A short walk away: USUS am Wasser (10 min), ABACCO'S STEAKHOUSE Wien (10 min) and Meliá Vienna (10 min). If it is full or shut, the closest alternatives of the same kind are Donaupark (2 min) and Kirche Christus Hoffnung der Welt (10 min).

It has no closing day. Across the week it opens as early as 10:00 and closes as late as 22:00. It holds 4.6 out of 5 from 21,402 Google reviews — a volume of reviews few places in the city reach. It is the most reviewed of the lookouts in Donaustadt & the Danube, which says something about the footfall. See also Donaustadt & the Danube or everything worth seeing in Vienna.
