The Meidlinger Hauptstraße

How much neighbourhood do you get for your money a little further out?

The Meidlinger Hauptstraße has stayed a pedestrian zone where other districts lost their centre to traffic. The walk leads from the station through quiet residential lanes to the longest neighbourhood mile in the south, with a market, shops and an everyday life with nothing to prove.

Who this walk is for

For the price-conscious who refuse to give up neighbourhood life: a market, a pedestrian zone and two rapid-transit hubs. Fancy looks different; practical looks exactly like this.

Good to know

Meidling is more affordable than the inner districts and well connected, but not polished everywhere: some corners look worn, and the main streets are loud. The residential lanes behind them are quiet.
