Moulin Rouge

The picturesque first district makes up the historical heart of Vienna, where the magnificent Ringstraße, historical architecture, government buildings, touristic enterprises and large company headquarters come together to make the first district not only the touristic, but also the economic centre of the city. As the oldest of Vienna’s districts, dating back to the Roman ages, it has found a place on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The grand pedestrian shopping streets Graben and Kärntner Straße join at the central St. Stephen’s Square (Stephansplatz), where locals and tourists alike come together to enjoy the historic sights, browse through one of the many fashion stores, relish in a traditional Melange and Sacher cake in one of the famous Viennese coffee houses, or just stroll through the winding side streets and take in the Viennese atmosphere.
The apartment is located directly in Walfischgasse, just a few meters away from the State Opera and famous Kärtner Straße. Its unique and central location makes it the perfect starting point from which to discover Vienna city and all of its magnificent nooks and crannies. Some of Vienna’s most note-worthy sights, such as the Hofburg Palace complex, City Hall and St. Stephen’s Cathedral are just a few minutes of walking away. Lovers of arts, sciences, and imperial collections can enjoy a trip to the Fine Arts Museum (Kunsthistorisches Museum), Natural History Museum (Naturhistorisches Museum), Albertina Museum or Imperial Treasury (Kaiserliche Schatzkammer). Those that want a break from the bustle of the city can retreat to the Burggarten Park or City Hall Square (Rathausplatz) Park. Just around the corner, you will find the metro station Karlsplatz, which connects you to the lines U1, U2 and U4, as well as the tram station Karlsplatz, connecting you to tram lines 1, 2, 62, 71 and D.
Our guests will find a range of restaurants, cafes and bars all around the apartment. Just up the street, there are Plachuta-Oper, one of the many Viennese owned Plachuta restaurants, and a layback Italian chain restaurant Vapiano. Take a short walk to the central Neuer Markt and grab a lunch at lovely French Bistro Le Bol before spending the afternoon enjoying a traditional Melange and treat at Kurkonditorei Oberlaa or Café Hawelka. You can further soak in the infamous Viennese coffee house culture in traditional favourites such as the Café Central, Café Landtmann or Café Sacher. For an authentic Greek dinner, head to Orpheus, before topping off the evening with a delicious cocktail or Spritzer while overlooking Vienna’s rooftops and the stunning St. Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom) at elegant Sky Bar or Do & Co Hotel Bar.
