Where to stay in Favoriten
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Rooms here sit south of the tourist core. The district's residential grid means most beds are ordinary neighbourhood addresses rather than hotel rows, so choosing Favoriten trades the doorstep of Innere Stadt for quieter streets and a short ride north into the middle of Vienna. Parks help.
Travellers who want the central-district streets of Vienna within walking distance do better in Margareten or Wieden, with Favoriten kept as the calmer fallback.

About Favoriten
What are the main landmarks in Favoriten?
Churches dominate the register. Pfarrkirche Franz von Sales and Salvator am Wienerfeld sit among the residential blocks, and the Evangelische Thomaskirche Wien-Favoriten gives the tenth district a Protestant congregation alongside its Catholic parishes. A fourth church, the Salvatorianerkirche zu den hl.
Aposteln, carries a religious order's name into Favoriten. Haus der Mathematik is the outlier, a museum of numbers rather than liturgy, standing among the recreational grounds and parks that break up an otherwise built-up quarter of Vienna.
What is the history of Favoriten?
Favoriten entered Vienna's district numbering as the tenth. Beyond that ordinal the sources record little narrative: a quarter south of Innere Stadt, Wieden and Margareten, filled with housing and cut with parks, whose dated events belong to the wider city rather than to itself. The buildings say more.
Pfarrkirche Franz von Sales, Salvator am Wienerfeld and the Evangelische Thomaskirche Wien-Favoriten are the documented parish and congregational houses of the district, and the Salvatorianerkirche zu den hl. Aposteln carries a religious order's name.
