Known for
The Prater with the Ferris wheel, Augarten and St Leopold's church stand on the island between the canal and the Danube.
Prater and Augarten
Leopoldstadt
Leopoldstadt
Prater Hauptallee, Praterstern, Obere Augartenstraße
The island between the canal and the Danube. The Prater with the giant wheel, the Augarten and St Leopold church make a separate day, not a walk from the cathedral.
Why go
Its own day, better in daylight: the wheel and the park. In the evening the Prater is louder than the Augarten.
Where to stay
Worth it if the day is the wheel. The Hofburg is no longer a morning walk from here.

This is a separate day, not a walk out from the cathedral. The wheel stands in the Prater, and Augarten and St Leopold's church are on the other side of the same island.
