danube-tower
The Danube Tower in Vienna offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the city. It has a lovely cafe where you can enjoy good espresso and sweet bites. While it may be a bit of a walk from any subway or tram line, the tower's impressive height draws you in from a long distance. You can combine a visit to the tower with the nearby alpine zoo and even get a discount with a Vienna card. Once inside, the experience is truly mind-blowing. The view from the top is magnificent, and the restaurant, which rotates slowly, allows for an encompassing view. There is also a photo booth where you can take cool pictures with different backgrounds for a small fee. Visitors highly recommend the tower for its great view and the ability to avoid crowds, especially if you go during non-peak hours. Student discounts are available, and you can easily purchase tickets at the entrance. The staff is efficient and quick, making the process hassle-free. The cafe and restaurant at the top of the tower are nice, but some reviewers note that they offer limited variety. However, overall, the experience is still highly rated. The cafe has delicious food options and the staff provides excellent customer service. The location of the tower is great, with easy access via public transport. The U1 subway line takes you close, and then it's just a short walk. Next to the tower, there is a green area and a park to explore. If you're looking for a bird's-eye view of Vienna, the Danube Tower is the place to go. The elevator is fast and fun, and you won't have to wait long to reach the top. Advanced booking is recommended for the restaurant, but walk-ins are accepted at the cafe. Overall, the Danube Tower is a must-visit attraction in Vienna. Its views are unparalleled, and the tower offers a unique perspective of the city. Whether you're interested in sightseeing, dining, or simply enjoying the panoramic view, this tower is an experience not to be missed.

I had a beautiful view from the City and Lower Austria. It really reminded me of the Eiffel tower for some reason. Seeing how small the city actually is... being able to see almost every monument/palace you went to. I've seen the magnificent gor.. Read more »

The best view in Vienna! In my opinion if you want to have a coffee or even a lunch/brunch (by the way the restaurant is higher 176m than observation point 150m) better make a reservation cause it's crowded all the time !

Donauturm is the tallest structure in Austria, with a restaurant and a cafe. Be brave, wear nothing in winter when visiting the observation deck. People will think that you're amazing.

The tower has a pretty "Jetsons" looking architecture to it. There is a lift going to the top where you will be met with a wonderful view and a rotating restaurant. Note that if you want to go up you need to pay.
