Floridsdorf & Donaustadt

Vienna

The Viennese call these districts Transdanubien (beyond the Danube) because they are situated on the other side of the riverbank, east of the city center. Here, you will find Vienna's most popular recreational area, the Donauinsel. As the name suggests, this is a very thin, very long, artificial island in the river Danube; a paradise for rollerblading, cycling, jogging, walking (with or without the dog), as well as swimming and sunbathing in the summertime. Furthermore, the area close to the U1-underground station known as the "sunken city," has a very busy nightlife with bars, restaurants and nightclubs that are generally open from June to September. Both districts have rather cheap (and somewhat rough) residential areas. Nevertheless, the Donaustadt is the district of Vienna in which the "real" Viennese people are said to live. There is even a television soap opera called Kaisermühlen-Blues (Kaisermühlen is a part of Donaustadt) that describes the life of the everyday people who live here. Review © 2009, Wcities
