3rd district · right bank of the Danube
Landstraße & Belvedere
Belvedere and Klimt's The Kiss, the Hundertwasserhaus, the Stadtpark's golden Strauss and the embassy quarter.
What it is
The 3rd district runs south-east from the Ring and the Stadtpark towards the old cattle market of St. Marx. It was the suburb where the aristocracy built summer palaces just outside the walls, most famously Prince Eugene of Savoy, the general who beat the Ottomans, whose Belvedere went up between 1712 and 1723. Around the Rennweg the embassies still cluster, while the eastern half is plain nineteenth-century housing and, lately, new offices and flats.
What is here
The Upper Belvedere, where Klimt's The Kiss hangs, facing the Lower Belvedere across the terraced gardens. The Hundertwasser House — council flats, seen only from outside — with Hundertwasser Village opposite and the Kunst Haus Wien a few streets away. The Konzerthaus. The St. Marx Cemetery, where Mozart was buried in 1791 in a grave no one marked. Steirereck, Austria's most celebrated restaurant, sits in the Stadtpark; the Gmoa Keller serves honest Viennese cooking by the Konzerthaus, and Salm Bräu brews its own beer beside the Belvedere.
What it is like
Mixed and unhurried. The western edge, between Stadtpark and Belvedere, is elegant and quiet after office hours. Landstraßer Hauptstraße is an ordinary shopping street with bakeries and chain stores. Around the Hundertwasser House the tour buses come and go in daylight, then the streets go back to residents. In summer the Strandbar Herrmann turns a strip of canal bank into a deckchair bar.
Who should stay here
Travellers who want a calm base a walk from the Ring, concert-goers heading to the Konzerthaus, and anyone arriving by the airport bus or CAT at Wien Mitte. It suits couples and families better than night owls. Mid-range hotels here are good value against the 1st district.
Practical
U3 and U4 meet at Landstraße/Wien Mitte; tram D runs past the Belvedere to the Hauptbahnhof. The catch: the S-Bahn platforms at Wien Mitte are closed until the end of October 2027 and the City Airport Train runs as a coach from here in the meantime. The district is long — an address near Rochusmarkt or the Rennweg is central, one out by St. Marx is not.

Frequently asked
Which district of Vienna is Landstraße in?
Landstraße is Vienna's 3rd district, on the right bank of the Danube, the same side as the historic centre. It is easy to verify from the postcode: the four digits start with 1, the middle two give the district and the last is 0, so any street address here carries 1030. That is the quickest way to find out where a listing actually is before you book it.
What is worth seeing in Landstraße?
The best-known sights here are Russisch-Orthodoxe Kathedrale zum heiligen Nikolaus, Wiener Konzerthaus and Upper Belvedere. The full list, with opening hours and a map, is further up this page.
Where should I eat in Landstraße?
Among the best-rated restaurants in the district are Moment Cafe and Restaurant, Restaurant Das Essen FM and das suess'kind. The ratings come from Google and are refreshed periodically — they are not paid placements.
Is Landstraße a good area to stay in?
It depends what you want from it. The accommodation section above lists several options in the district, and the write-up at the top of this page says plainly who the area suits and who it does not. The map at the foot of the page is centred on Landstraße itself.
Is there a proper Viennese coffee house in Landstraße?
Yes — NATA Lisboa and L'Attimo coffee. A Viennese coffee house is judged on simple things: the glass of water that arrives with the coffee, the newspapers on wooden holders, and nobody hurrying you out after a single Melange.
Are there Heurigen or wine taverns in Landstraße?
Yes — Heunisch & Erben and Heurigen Restaurant zur alten Weinpresse. Vienna is one of the few capitals with working vineyards inside its city limits, and the wine tavern is the local institution: the good ones pour the house wine by the glass — often a Grüner Veltliner or a Gemischter Satz — and announce themselves with tables full of Viennese.
Does Landstraße have any nightlife?
Yes. Reference points in the district include Viper Room, Shangrila Karaoke Bar and Strandbar Herrmann. For the densest concentration of bars, Viennese nights move to the arches under the U6 along the Gürtel and the streets around Schwedenplatz.
