The two rotating cafe and restaurant were reportedly fully booked when I arrived. They only allowed access to the observation point. The view of the city from that point is absolutely amazing, and you can take a lot of pictures. They also offer bungee jumping off the observation point (around 160 meters) if you are the adveturous type. If you... More

We went up the tower, the views are really good but when we decided to have a coffee at the rotating cafe, the waiter took 20 minutes to serve us. My piece of toast took another 30 minutes, made us waste loads of time in the cafe. If you are in a hurry,Mary avoiding that cafe as they only have... More

There are several points of attraction in one: the elevator taking you to the top, the view you get once you are there, the cafe which has a rotating floor combined with a mapped ceiling (pointing you to the main city attactions) and the souvenir picture you can have once you are out.

At over 250 metres of height, it’s one of the tallest structures of the Austrian capital. A staircase of nearly 800 steps leads visitors to a viewing platform situated at... More

The tower is too far from the city centre and all the monuments so there is nothing to see from the top. However, the view of the Danube and the few artificial islands is nice if you enjoy lanscape/scenery. The menu is limited and the food is ok. Three course meal for 2 people costed £70= $110 (without alcohol/wine). Service... More

Its far away from city center... You need to take U6 subway and ride to the Neue Donau station. From there you will need to walk for good 15 minutes, because bus is going on 1 hour interval. It is in the middle of suburban area, so bring your GPS (I haven't and I ended up looking for the right... More
