Danube Tower - Donauturmplatz 1

To be honest the bad critic is for the cafe. The view was amazing. A little expensive, but let's say was worth it. The cafe was the worst. In another review a customer tell us her experience which I witnessed and was the following: "The tower view is beautiful, you can see the whole town and is open air, which is lovely. That's the only good thing about the tower and for that l would give 5* but the experience in the coffee lounge was terrible. If you are English speaking don't bother come there. The waiter mixed up our order, and after 20 minutes wait l ended up without eating. However they offered to provide me my food but once again my food didn't arrived so l asked for my bill because there was just a waste of my time. Also, they don't provide napkins and if you ask they don't understand anyway so my friend had to wipe her mouth with hand eventually. Horrible service overall" She was absolutely right. And also our table had not better service. We asked to eat in cafe (because in the restaurant you should have a reservation) and they did not speak good english. They were polite, but at first we thought that we could not eat there, although in the catalog had food. Moreover, we ordered a sachertorte and a hot chocolate, but again was a missunderstanding and they came without whipecream. In the end, we paid 40 euro for a bad experience. Only the view was good.

Good view (around 165m), not bad cafe To visit restaurant you may need reservation (specially for sunset time)

Nice views. Ate at the cafe and captured our experience using their photo machine.

Second highest building in Vienna and Austria. We visited the rotating restaurant at 170m height. The prices are relatively high, but the view is exclusive, and the rotation adds another cherry on top. The direct sunlight spoiled a few photos, but in general it was unique experience.

Do not miss the café, the view is beautiful* and the atmosphere is nice on a quiet day. But don't get too attached to the view when you choose your seat as the tower rotates slowly. It's still a nice place to go, even if it's grey and cold outside. *if you have motion sickness, bear in mind that the tower rotates slowly and the bar inside too, but in the opposite direction.

The queue was small, park next to the tower is nice. Tower has a cafe and restaurant as well. View is pretty amazing-you can see all Vienna. Price could be smaller tought. But this neighborhood is very modern and nice.

I went to visit the Danube Tower, because I heard that is the tallest structure in Austria, measuring 252 meters. I paid for an access ticket, after wich i climbe in 35 seconds with a very fast elevator on the panoramic terrace, where i had the most beautiful view over Vienna. It was very cold upstairs, so I couldn't take too many pictures. In any case, the view was superb!

I was a little hesitant because of the price tag attached to a simple elevator ride, but it was absolutely worth it for a one-time experience. we came in the evening to watch the sunset and were delighted to find both the observation platform and the café mostly deserted. it's a gorgeous view of the entire city and beyond that you shouldn't miss out on while visiting. I would highly recommend having a drink at the café too while you're at it- it's open until 8:30pm and slowly rotates to give you a 365° view while enjoying a glass of wine or two. (their cake is no good but you're there for the view anyway, right?)
