I had to change the room 3 times because it was never the right one, which is not very practical during a 3-day stay. you have to pay for the sheets and covers. I had the impression that the staff were always in the west (it is possible that my stay coincides with newcomers) Otherwise, the rooms are comfortable and clean.

Vienna – Student accommodation, hostels and coworking spaces in Vienna (Austria). Maps of Vienna, photos and reviews for each place in Vienna.

Welcome to Vienna

What’s that outside your dorm window? Chances are it’s a palace. It can feel like there's one on every street of Vienna. Once the cultural centre of Europe, Austria's capital boasts a large assortment of architectural riches, with recent centuries seeing the addition of everything from art nouveau classics to elegant coffee houses. Backpackers love it for its walkable centre, its undercurrents of experimental art and electronic music, and – of course – its great range of cheap hostels. While there isn’t quite a youth hostel on every street, there are still loads to choose from. Choose a city-centre hostel to explore the famous Innere Stadt, anchored by towering St Stephen’s Cathedral; or a downtown hostel to enjoy the elegant Leopoldstadt, bordered by the Danube and Danube Canal.Vienna is also full of affordable student accommodation located in close proximity to nightlife, shopping, and sightseeing, making it a great place to study. There are also more than 130,000 students in Vienna, so it would be easy to meet fellow students if you choose to study there. Vienna remains one of Europe's most vibrant cities, celebrating its cultural past while embracing a cutting-edge present.

Wander the city's parks

Vienna's parks are as ornate and pleasant as you could wish for. Get yourself out of your accommodation and explore a few. Try the Volksgarten for roses, the Stadtpark for monuments and the Burggarten for a stunning art nouveau greenhouse. [IMAGE_NEW_1]

Discover Cutting Edge Art at MUSA

Most museums in Vienna will drain your bank balance before you can say kunsthistoriches. So if you’re a backpacker, you’re better off at MUSA, a swanky modern art gallery that’s completely free. Check other museum websites for discount days. [IMAGE_NEW_1]

Hofburg Palace

More than just a palace, the Hofburg is a complex of stunning buildings that houses the Imperial Apartments, museums, a library, a concert hall and even an indoor riding school. [IMAGE_NEW_1]

St Stephen's Cathedral

Once you’ve checked into your hostel, head here to start getting your bearings. Vienna's iconic cathedral is slap bang in the heart of the city. It was destroyed in World War II and rebuilt in just seven years, making one of Europe's most remarkable houses of worship even more incredible. [IMAGE_NEW_1]

Kunsthistoriches Museum

Lying in the extensive grounds of the Hofburg, this is the home of the Imperial art collection, including the largest number of Bruegel paintings in the world. A masterpiece round every corner. [IMAGE_NEW_1]

KunstHaus Wien

If the opulence of Imperial Austria gets a bit much, try the wavy lines and bold colours of Friedensreich Hundertwasser's idiosyncratic gallery, a gathering point for artistic types with a more modern sensibility. Expect to bump into some fellow backpackers. [IMAGE_NEW_1]

Schönbrunn Palace

It's a short journey out of town, and is likely to be crowded once you are there, but the Habsburg's summer residence is so extravagant it’s impossible to miss. [IMAGE_NEW_1]

Innere Stadt (1st District)

Grandeur abounds in the historic centre of the city, where pedestrianised streets lead tourists, backpackers and students past cathedrals, opera houses and, of course, palaces. It's possible to spend an entire trip in this district alone. [IMAGE_NEW_1]
Innere Stadt (1st District)

Landstrasse (3rd District)

Attempting to rival neighbouring Innere Stadt for opulence, Vienna's 3rd District is similarly packed with astonishing architecture. It's here you'll find the Belvedere and Schwarzenberg Palaces, as well as the serene Stadtpark. There are some good cheap hostels just to the west in Favoriten. [IMAGE_NEW_1]

Döbling (19th District)

Escape from the city centre to the vineyard-covered hills of Döbling in the North West, where wine taverns known as heurige line the idyllic village streets. Pick quieter Nussdorf over tourist-crowded Grinzing. A magical break from dorm life. [IMAGE_NEW_1]

Imperial Ball (New Year)

Vienna, the city that invented the waltz, holds hundreds of balls each year. Save up some money, don your tux or gown, and celebrate new year in the classiest way possible.

Vienna Christmas Market (December)

Despite the cold, Christmas is one of the very best times to be in a Vienna hostel. Smells of cinnamon and mulled wine waft throughout the city as various festive markets pop up throughout its many squares. Find them at Schönbrunn and Belvedere Palaces, Karlsplatz, Spittelberg and many others. The markets usually run from late November until late December.

The Vienna City Marathon (March)

Running many kilometres isn't everyone's cup of tea, but there aren't many prettier places in the world to do it than Vienna, which is probably why this one is so popular. Even if you aren’t competing, the atmosphere is fantastic. The 39thVienna City Marathon is scheduled to take place on April 24, 2022. [IMAGE_NEW_1]

Vienna Festival

In a city of such rich culture, it's only fitting that its annual festival should be an extravaganza of dance, drama and music. Running during the summer, this festival typically opens with a free outdoor concert at Schönbrunn Palace.

Tunnel

Music and lunch for under €6? What else could you want?! This eatery is also in a great location near the medical school, which makes this restaurant a hit with students. It’s close to some of the cheap hostels around Josefstadt, and there’s an events room downstairs where you can catch local musicians.

Café Eiles

A trip to Vienna is incomplete without stopping at one of their legendary cafés. Cafe Eiles is a favourite spot for a late breakfast, and is open from 7am to 12am every day. This makes it a perfect late night hang for a busy student as well. [IMAGE_NEW_1]

Der Wiener Deewan

This place ticks every box. It’s close to hostels in Alsergrund and Rossau, and it’s as cheap as you want it to be – for any food on the menu, you pay what you feel. The Pakistani buffet doesn't have the widest selection but it tastes good and it’s sure to fill you up.
