Where to stay in Währing
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Währing works for travellers who want a quiet, green base on the leafy edge of Vienna, close to the Türkenschanzpark and the Vienna Woods rather than the nightlife. Beds here stay calm and residential. The streets around the Türkenschanzpark and up toward Pötzleinsdorf hold quiet blocks and green corners, so a room here trades the center's bustle for parkland and calm.
Pick Währing for green over glamour.

About Währing
What are the main landmarks in Währing?
Währing keeps its landmarks among parks and old churches. Green frames them all. The Geymüllerschlössel stands behind its garden in Pötzleinsdorf, the Pötzleinsdorfer Pfarrkirche and the Schafbergkirche crown the higher ground, and the Türkenschanzpark holds monuments to writers in the Arthur-Schnitzler-Denkmal and the Adalbert-Stifter-Denkmal.
What is the history of Währing?
Währing took its modern shape in 1892, when the suburbs of Währing, Weinhaus, Gersthof, and Pötzleinsdorf were joined into a single district of Vienna. Its borders shifted once more. In 1938 the outlying villages of Neustift am Walde and Salmannsdorf were handed to neighbouring Döbling, trimming the district back toward the Vienna Woods it still meets.
Where is Währing?
Währing climbs the northwestern edge of Vienna toward the Vienna Woods, its green heart the Türkenschanzpark and its outer villages running up to Döbling.
