The Servitenviertel and the Strudlhofstiege

Can inner-city and quiet go together?

A church square like a small town’s, an Art Nouveau stairway straight out of literature and a half-hidden palace garden: in two kilometres, Alsergrund distils what makes inner-city living quiet. In between lies Berggasse, where Freud lived for almost fifty years.

Who this walk is for

For quiet-seekers with inner-city standards: church-square idyll, pavement cafés and the D tram around the corner. Prices match the location.

Good to know

The quarter is quiet and sought-after, and priced accordingly. The busy Roßauer Lände runs along the edge, and the quiet lanes have little in the way of shops.

What changes along the way

Every 100 metres of the walk, sampled against wohnwahn’s data. The bars run from the start (left) to the finish (right). In short: well shaded by street trees · along open water · lively and busy · very well connected.
