Neubau

A stylish neighbourhood off the beaten path, in Vienna's 7th district

Word to the wise: If your heart is set on visiting all the shops (and there are an awful lot) in this district, consider a personalised tour with the local merchants’ collective, 7tm.
Neubau, located in the 7th district, is a great place to explore a bit of Vienna outside the bustling center. This neighbourhood, popular with artists, foreigners, students and the working class, is chock-full of quirky little shops selling clothes, jewellery and furniture, not to mention a number of charming cafés. This area makes a nice alternative to the more commercial shopping district of Mariahilferstraße.

Because of the mixture of artists who have opened studios here, and the influx of foreigners and indigenous Viennese, the bars, clubs and restaurants cater to local tastes, as well as offering up a respectable amount of international fare.
