Read our Vienna neighborhood guide to know more about the best neighborhoods to live in Vienna.

Best neighborhoods to live in Vienna

Innere Stadt

The very center of the Austrian capital is known as the Innere Stadt neighborhood, the oldest part of the city. Being at the very heart of Vienna, Innere Stadt is seen as one of the most expensive yet luxurious neighborhoods in which to live in the city. Littered with some of Vienna’s most iconic landmarks, such as The Hofburg and the Rathaus, living here means you will be blessed with some of Vienna’s best sights, but also among the many tourists that visit the city every year. If you are able to deal with the hordes of tourists and the occasional expensive cafe or restaurant, then the Innere Stadt is the ideal neighborhood to live in for that whole want to soak up the true essence of Vienna.

Landstraße

Still within central Vienna, yet slightly out of the intense hustle and bustle of the Innere Stadt, Landstraße is one of the best neighborhoods in the city to settle. The large sprawling neighborhoods are home to a wide range of homes, from elegant townhouses to humble apartments and everything in between. Aside from the residential feel, Landstraße is famed for its many museums and art galleries. This perfect balance between open space, homely residential streets, and cultural spots makes Landstraße a great neighborhood for families who still wish to be close to the capital’s center. With a large non-Austrian community choosing to live in Landstraße, those looking for a strong ex-pat community will also see Landstraße as an ideal choice.

Mariahilf

Located to the west of the city center, the Mariahilf neighborhood has long been seen as the Austrian capital’s shopping and fashion district. Home to the Mariahilf Strasse, a wide pedestrianized street, the Mariahilf neighborhood has a trendy and fashionable air, enhanced by the many cafes that adorn the neighborhood. This Viennese cafe culture makes Mariahilf a popular place for both locals and tourists visiting Vienna. Alongside the fashionable side of Mariahilf, the neighborhood is also the home to several top schools, kindergartens, and green play areas. This makes Mariahilf a suitable neighborhood for families settling in the city with children.

Meidling

Around four and a half miles southwest of Vienna’s city center is the neighborhood of Meidling. Far away from the inner city rush and the often cramped streets of the city, Meidling is a charming collection of open squares, green spaces, and an almost suburban feel. The suburbs of Meidling offer affordable places to live, far enough away from the expensive properties of downtown Vienna. Green spaces such as Haydnpark are a welcome escape from the city streets, ideal for getting a dose of fresh Austrian air. Similar to Mariahilf, the Meidling neighborhood has a wide range of schools for all ages. This combination of suburban living, pleasant green parks, and good schools make Meidling a top choice for young families.

Tips for moving to Vienna

Moving to the Austrian capital can be a little bit of a culture shock for many, especially if you are arriving from outside the country. There are a number of things that can help you make the move all the more enjoyable and smoother. First of all, ensure you sort your Meldezettel Wien as soon as possible. This is a registration of your address, and you will need it to secure everything from a library card to a social security number. Another tip that will help you extensively is to attempt to learn a little German. Although you will find many English speakers in Vienna, heaving a grasp of the local language will help you integrate far better.

Average rent in Vienna

Although one of the more affordable European capital cities, Vienna has a wide range of rent prices depending on the area of the city you choose to settle in. Living within the city center can mean far higher rent prices compared to the outer city center neighborhoods. For a fully-equipped one-bedroom apartment outside the city center, you will pay on average €800 to €1500. For a similar one-bedroom apartment within the city center, the average rent cost is around an average of between €1100 to €2000.
