• Central inner-city location with history: The 4th district lies immediately south of the city centre and offers the perfect mix of urban life and historic flair – characterised by old buildings and streets steeped in history.
• Diverse housing offer: From charming historic apartments to modern new builds, Wieden offers apartments of all sizes – ideal for singles, couples or families seeking urban comfort.
• Top infrastructure and mobility: The district is excellently connected – by subway, tram and the nearby main railway station. Shops, restaurants and schools are conveniently accessible.
• Lively neighbourhood and culture: Attractions such as the baroque Karlskirche or the Naschmarkt create a culturally exciting environment and a lively, international atmosphere.
• High demand and prices: Due to its attractive location, Wieden is among Vienna’s more expensive residential areas. Apartments are in high demand – especially those with a balcony or terrace.

The location could hardly be more central: The city centre is quickly reachable from Wieden, and at the district edge the modern main railway station serves as an important transport hub. At the same time you can feel the historic flair in Wieden – the district was formed in 1850 by the incorporation of old suburbs, and splendid Gründerzeit (founders’ era) buildings still characterise the streetscape today.

In 1861 Wieden had to cede part of its area to the newly created 5th district, Margareten. Since then it has been one of the smallest districts with around 1.8 km² of area and with approximately 33,000 residents is quite densely populated. Green spaces are scarce, but nearby parks offer some relief. The mix of central urbanity and historically rich residential environment is what makes living here so attractive.

A 2-room apartment in Wieden is ideal for singles, couples or possibly a small two-person flatshare who want to live near the centre. Typically such an apartment offers about 50 to 70 m² of living space, with one bedroom and one living room – often with an open-plan kitchen. In addition there is an entrance hall as an entry area and a bathroom, usually with a shower or bathtub. The toilet is often separate from the bathroom, which increases comfort.

Despite the compact size, no one has to do without amenities:

• Almost every 2-room apartment has a high-quality fitted kitchen with appliances (including a dishwasher) and well-maintained parquet floors.
• High ceilings and large windows create a bright, friendly atmosphere.
• A private garden is rare, but a cellar compartment is almost always included.

The range of rental apartments extends from beautifully renovated old apartments to efficient new builds near the main station. A 2-room apartment in Wieden offers urban living with all important amenities for one to two people.

Those who need a lot of space or have a family are often interested in a 5-room apartment. Such apartments offer pure living comfort:

• On over 100 m² of living space there are several bedrooms as well as a spacious living room.
• A central entrance hall and often a storage room are also present.

Two bathrooms are common in 5-room apartments (for example a bath with bathtub and double washbasin, plus a shower room), often complemented by a guest toilet. The kitchen is either separate or integrated as an open-plan kitchen into the living area and is, of course, fully equipped (including a dishwasher). High-quality parquet floors and elegant tiles are standard, and old-building details such as double doors can be additional highlights.

In Wieden you will primarily find 5-room apartments in old buildings; occasionally there are also modern new builds of this size. Such large apartments are, however, rare and accordingly expensive in rent.

A 6-room old building apartment in 1040 Vienna represents the premium segment of the rental market. Historic residential style meets generous rooms: high ceilings, double doors and noble parquet floors give these apartments their special charm.

They are often stately full-floor apartments that have been modernised today – with a large living salon, several bedrooms and a spacious kitchen. Even the expansive entrance hall (entrée) already testifies to the dignified atmosphere.

Typically there are two or more bathrooms (e.g. a master bathroom with a bathtub plus another with a shower) as well as an additional guest toilet. Despite the old-building flair, technology and fittings are usually up to modern standards, often including an added elevator. Here you enjoy classic living without having to forgo comfort.

Such old-building residences in the heart of Vienna are extremely rare and correspondingly pricey. You can find them, for example, near the Karlsplatz or in prestigious locations like Rienölgasse. Those lucky enough to rent a 6-room old-building apartment live in the highest style and can fully enjoy the advantages of the central location.

• Small but impressive: With only about 1.8 km² of area, Wieden is one of the smallest Viennese districts. At the same time, around 33,000 people live here – the population density is very high and the streetscape lively.
• Historic district: Wieden was founded as the 4th district in 1850. In 1861 the southern part was split off (today’s 5th district Margareten). The Margaretenstraße now forms part of the border between the districts, which significantly reduced the size of the 4th district. Many buildings date from the 19th century and give the district its typical old-building flair.
• Cultural highlights: The 4th district houses some of Vienna’s best-known sights. Above all, the baroque Karlskirche at Karlsplatz is considered an emblem of the city. Not far from it lies the Naschmarkt, Vienna’s famous food market on the border between Wieden and Mariahilf.
• Housing offer: Old buildings dominate the housing stock – accordingly there are many charming old rental apartments with high ceilings. In recent years, some attic conversions and modern new builds have also been added, so old and new now coexist side by side.
• Transport and infrastructure: The central location guarantees excellent infrastructure. Public transport serves the district optimally: the U1 subway line (Taubstummengasse station) runs through Wieden, several tram lines (lines 1 and 62) run along the Wiedner Hauptstraße through the district, and the Vienna main station at the Wiedner Gürtel is located directly at the district edge. Shopping, dining and schools are also plentiful.
