Where to stay in Liesing
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Beds out here are an outer-district proposition. The 23rd district sits on the southwest edge of Vienna, so a room in Liesing means an inbound trip for anything central, traded against streets that stay quiet after dark and space that the inner districts cannot offer. Parking is easier.
Anyone arriving by car and heading out of the city the next morning gains from that, while anyone here for a weekend of museums does better closer to the middle of Vienna.

About Liesing
What are the main landmarks in Liesing?
Parish churches carry most of it. Pfarrkirche Atzgersdorf serves the older settlement inside the 23rd district, the Kloster der Redemptoristinnen holds a religious community of its own, and the Church of St. John completes the short list of sacred buildings. Memorials fill the rest.
One marks Franz Heindl and Viktor Mrnustik, another remembers Therese Klostermann, and the Liesing District Museum keeps the written record behind both.
What is the history of Liesing?
Liesing's record is administrative first. The 23rd district was drawn on the southwest edge of Vienna, and the sources set down a boundary and a museum rather than a founding charter, with the Liesing District Museum holding what documentation the district keeps. Memorials supply the names.
Franz Heindl and Viktor Mrnustik share one, Therese Klostermann has another, and beyond those the written history belongs to Vienna rather than to Liesing.
Where is Liesing?
The 23rd district occupies the southwest edge of Vienna, in Austria, and takes in Atzgersdorf along with the streets around it.
