Landstrasse (3rd District)

Vienna

Vienna's 3rd district lies to the east and southeast of the Innere Stadt, framed to the east by the Danube Canal (Donaukanal) and to the west by Prinz-Eugen-Strasse and Arsenalstrasse. It is predominantly a working-class area with a high immigrant population, mostly refugees from the former eastern-bloc Yugoslavia. The one exception is the diplomatic quarter close to Schwarzenbergplatz and around the Belvedere. Here you will find splendid houses, expensive hotels and excellent restaurants. But, the most important sight in the 3rd district is the Belvedere itself, probably Vienna's most beautiful rococo palace. Other sights, such as the KunstHausWien (designed by artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser), the Hundertwasserhaus, the Wittgensteinhaus, the Museum of the 20th century and the Heeresgeschichtliche Museum are widely dispersed throughout the district.
