English: The jubilee waiting room is located in Ottakring (16th district) and is a lookout point on the Gallitzinberg. Arriving on the viewing terrace (freely accessible in summer, but closed in the winter months) you can overlook the Wienerwald to the west and the Viennese city area to the east.

Forest museum for children and Obsavstorium are further highlights. I recommend at sunset or at night. Buses rarely consider hiking or cycling as a possibility.

Read moreAbsolutely worth your effort, you'll be rewarded by the views!! Couple of things, it can get very windy up, even though you don't feel the winds on the ground.

Enjoy the views, love the difference between the city and nature and fall in love...
Read moreAbsolutely gorgeous view of Vienna and the Wienerwald. Really cool tower, it's this big concrete post thing with stairs spiralling up to the top. There are landings quite often for those who want to pause to catch their breath or let others pass them, and I can't stress enough how good the view is. Definitely worth your time, plus you can drive to the base of the tower, and park. What are you...
