Vienna's Danube Tower offers a captivating experience that blends breathtaking panoramic vistas with delicious food options.

As the tallest structure in Austria, the Danube Tower boasts unbeatable 360-degree views of Vienna.

The Danube Tower caters to various appetites. Enjoy fine dining at the revolving restaurant, where you can savor delectable dishes while the city unfolds beneath you. Alternatively, grab a coffee and cake at the cafe, offering a more casual atmosphere to take in the sights.

A Touch of History:

Built in 1964, the Danube Tower is steeped in history. It's a great way to learn about Vienna's architectural evolution and appreciate the city's modern skyline.

Things to Consider:

Even with a restaurant booking you still have to pay for the tower entry unlike any other tower restaurants we have been to.

While the views are undeniably impressive, keep in mind that the Danube Tower can get crowded, especially during peak season. Purchasing tickets online beforehand can help you avoid long queues.

Additionally, the walk from the nearest underground station can be a bit long, so factor that into your travel time.

Overall, the Danube Tower is a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique perspective on Vienna. The stunning views, delicious food options, and historical significance make it a worthwhile addition to...

This is so much better compared to the giant wheel. This restaurant is 170 meters high and the view is stunning, specially in eveningtimes. You just have to make a reservation here as it is full booked most of the time. 21:00 is for me the best time as it is less crowded and people are quietly enjoying the view and food. On arrival i found out that you have to pay to get into the tower itself, in which the restaurant is located. You will be welcomed by a liftboy who will get you to the floor you need. The elevator goes seriously fast (6.2m/s) so be prepared to get your ears popped like in a airplane. On arrival at the restaurant you will be received by a hostess whom will confirm your reservation and guide you to your table. They give you a menu and some superdelicious white and brown bread with salmonspread and salted butter. The overview over Vienna is nothing less then stunning. Its the highest point in Vienna and almost at the center of the city. On the ceiling there are signs telling which building is where. As the tower turns you can see them all. Going to the toilet is also very pleasant. just wait till it comes by, no need to walk far. Waiter is really friendly and speaks 4 languages. You get a drink and take some time to see the menu and surroundings. Then order food. They have complete menu 3 stages for 40€ or pick one of the special Vienna style dishes. You get a 2hrs window to sit and enjoy. The food itself is top-quality and fresh. This was well worth the money. For 2 people bring at least 125€ to enjoy the full package with one drink. Cost me 28€ to get in and 92€...

The service is slow...at the arrival we waited at the entrance for a while and we tried to look for someone to show us our table. (You have to make pre reservations before arrival...and if you can't show up they will charge you for 100€ what is already is disappointing...) so the waitresses was talking down on us...anyway we tried to enjoy our time with my daughter. First we got fresh bread and butter (not free!) I ordered a vegetable soup with pancake slices what is traditional soup in Austria...there was no vegetable in it at all. My daughter ordered salmon (there is only one type of salmon in the menu...no chicken just beef) she had to wait for that salmon for more than 40 minutes and it looked raw...they served it with RAW pumpkin and with some kind of cheese balks- doesn't worth the money at all. They do not have a real vegetarian option for second course, so my choice was limited for one option it was some deep fried egg 🤢 with spinach...no taste at all...I didn't even tried the egg it looked disgusting. Than we ordered some sweet that one was ok...but definitely not worth that much what they asked for it... Overall besides the food and the service what both was awful the view was beautiful. Ohh before I forget and we paid more than one hundred Euro for all of the food what we didn't even eat it...to be honest I do not...
