Spittelau District Heating Plant

Fabulous architecture

Heiligenstädter Lände
Vienna, Vienna 1090
Austria
+43 1 21 1140 (tourist board)

The architect Friedensreich Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser is very well known to tourists for the municipal lodgings he has built in the Löwengasse. His style presents color, nature, and a belief that nothing should ever be even! The suitability of the embellishments to the chimney of the neighboring heating plant was the subject of much discussion in Vienna. Finally, the plant's roof was crowned with a big "hat," typical of Hundertwasser's work. It's a very bright, colorful building - well worth a look.

Squash Manhattan

A service oriented fitness centre Heiligenstädter Lände 17
Vienna, Vienna 1190
Austria
+43 1 368 7311 Since the squash fad in Vienna has calmed down a bit, there is nearly always a free court in the Manhattan. It is very clean and well maintained, especially the changing rooms, where you can find complimentary body milk and perfume. There is a relaxing sauna for afterwards included in the price! Manhattan also runs a shop, in which customers can buy or rent sports equipment.
