The 9 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Landstraße, Vienna Region
In Vienna, the coffee house isn’t just a hangout: it’s an institution. Lingering over a newspaper with a pastry and a strong espresso drink is, according to UNESCO, officially a Viennese cultural pastime. Walk off your slice of Sachertorte with a self-guided tour of the city’s stunning traditional, Secessionist, and modern architecture, such as the Imperial Palace, the State Opera House, the Kirche am Steinhof, or the Kunsthistorisches Museum, an exercise in ornate geometry.

Being an admirer of Hundertwasser and familiar with his toilets in Kawakawa, New Zealand, I had this on my must do list in Vienna. An easy walk from Landstrasse U-bahn station, the Hundertwasser House and Village are well worth visiting despite the crowds of tourists. In my view the village is spoiled somewhat by being filled with souvenir shops but the unique design can still be appreciated. Not to be missed is the cafe below the house where you can watch a video of Mr Hundertwasser who guides the viewer through some of the flats and gardens while talking about his work and philosophy, More than worth the price of a coffee!!
3. Gasometer

Since the end of the 1990s, four teams of star architects have been working on converting four 112-year-old gasometers into a new urban complex. Vienna undertook a remodelling and revitalization of the protected monuments and in 1995 called for ideas for the new use of the structures. The chosen designs by the architects Jean Nouvel (Gasometer A), Coop Himmelblau (Gasometer B), Manfred Wehdorn (Gasometer C) and Wilhelm Holzbauer (Gasometer D) were completed between 1999 and 2001. Each gasometer was divided into several zones for living (apartments in the top), working (offices in the middle floors) and entertainment and shopping (shopping malls in the ground floors). The shopping mall levels in each gasometer are connected to the others by skybridges. The historic exterior wall of bricks was conserved. There are 615 modern appartements, an event hall holding 3.500 People, a cinemacenter, a shoppingmall, a student home, the viennas municipal archive, offices of telecommunication companies, a kindergarden, schools, medical and other facilities in the four gasometers. Visitors and experts can learn everything they always wanted to know about the new architecture of the gasometers, the history of the gas works and alternate uses (from location for James Bond movies to Gazometer rave events) at a guided tour.
