The Vienna Tourist Board is giving away a two-night stay for two people at the legendary Hotel Imperial in Vienna, to celebrate the city’s vibrant neighbourhoods in 2024.
In 2024, Vienna will celebrate its local neighbourhoods, or Grätzel as the locals call them. Each Grätzel has its own attractions, its particular crowd, its unique character and charm. What makes a Grätzel unique is a sense of togetherness, and this is not reserved just for residents. In Vienna’s Grätzel your clients become temporary neighbours, and not just visitors. Here they will feel like a true Viennese and discover the authentic Vienna.
This year a spotlight will shine on eleven unique Grätzel that could not be more different from each other. Here are some of the highlights from the Grätzel being celebrated in 2024:
Karmeliterviertel (2nd district) – cool and kosher: This neighbourhood is still home to a lively Jewish community to this day. There are outstanding culinary offerings at the Karmelitermarkt in the heart of the Grätzel. The Museum of Crime awaits devoted crime fans, while the baroque Augarten caters to those looking for relaxation.
Gußhausviertel & Karlsplatz (4th district) – Gründerzeit (known as “founders period”) and Viennese history: The spectacular new Wien Museum (opening on 6 December 2023) and the baroque Karlskirche (Church of St. Charles) mark the entrance to this neighbourhood.
Freihausviertel (4th district) – a creative cosmos: Just a stone’s throw from the Naschmarkt, this Grätzel with its laid-back shops and eateries is a hotspot for Vienna’s creative scene. Modern galleries on Schleifmühlgasse and trendy shops create a lively combination.
