Where to stay in Pötzleinsdorf
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Beds are thin on the ground in Pötzleinsdorf itself. Most visitors book in the denser streets of Währing or Gersthof and come out for the calm of the lanes around the Pötzleinsdorfer Pfarrkirche. The trade-off is quiet.
You get garden walls and tree cover, with Neustift am Walde close enough to walk to when you want a different table.
