Tower sights in Vienna

  1. A

    Donauturm

    At 252m the Danube Tower in Donaupark is Vienna’s tallest structure – next highest is the Millennium Tower at 202m. Its revolving restaurant at 170m allows fantastic panoramic views of the city and beyond – the food tends to be tried and trusted Viennese favourites. Tickets covering entrance to the Donauturm and Riesenrad cost for adult/child €11.40/5.90. The adventurous can bungee jump off the side of the tower – see the website for details.

    Favoriten Water Tower

    Built in 1889, this tall tower is all that remains of a pumping station that brought water from the Alps to Vienna. Its striking yellow- and red-brick facade is decoratively topped with turrets; tours are occasionally offered.
