The Donauturm is the tallest structure in all of Vienna, standing an impressive 827 feet above ground level. It was built in 1964, and even to this day, it still stands as one of the 75 tallest structures on the planet. It is located just off the banks of the Danube in the Twenty Second District. The tower also takes its name after the famous river that flows nearby.

It took almost two years to build the structure. The construction was supervised by Eberhard Fodisch. Since that time, this place has become one of the more popular tourist attractions in all the city.

There are two super fast elevators that are used to take passengers up and down the tower. They can take you up to the observation tower, which sets 490 feet in the air over the town. you can also walk 779 steps to the top. In fact, a famous race is held each year on the steps of the Danube Tower.

There are also two restaurants located in the structure. Both are over 500 feet in the air. You cannot beat the view of the Danube from either of these locations. As far as design goes the two eating establishments are pretty much identical. In terms of fair, the upper restaurant is now serving upscale cuisine.

Donaupark is a shining example of what a city can do rejuvenate an area and turn a tragic place into a place of joy. This park covers around 200 acres of land that used to be home to the city trash dump. Prior to that time, this area was used by the Nazi’s as an execution site during period from the 1930s through the 1940s.

In the 1960s the city decided to clean up the area and turn it into a green zone. The park now has something for almost everyone. A miniature train runs around the perimeter, a skate park is there for the skater crowd, concerts are held here, and a great game of tennis can all be enjoyed on the grounds. It is a great place to have a picnic lunch, take a stroll or read a book on a warm day. If traveling with kids, this is a great place to let them run off some energy before seeing another building full of “don’t touch” items. The Donautürm is also located here, and the view from the top is incredible.

There is plenty of parking available as well as public transportation. With its location on the Danube, this park can become crowded on weekends and holidays, so go early during these times, or visit during the weekday.
