Drink a coffee and enjoy great food with a moving panoramic view
…or simply take advantage of the terrace. The Donauturm (Danube Tower), one of the landmarks of Vienna, has towered 250 metres into the sky above the city since its opening in 1964. It was built on the occasion of the Vienna International Garden Show (WIG). Today, 2 express lifts bring close to half a million visitors to its lofty heights every year – to bring them up to 165 metres high. Those who would prefer to have a bit of thigh work-out can, of course, take the more than 770 steps.
The restaurant and coffeehouse are constantly and slowly rotating, meaning that even if you are sitting down – for coffee and cake or dinner – you can enjoy an all-round view of Vienna.
Great special events such as the Full Moon Night, Magic Evenings, or even “Booty Camps” are offered throughout the year. The Donauturm Restaurant offers traditional regional treats in a modern ambience. The coffeehouse is non-smoking.
