Danube Tower

Planning Vienna? Danube Tower is worth a look — a viewpoint. Built in 1964, this concrete monolith stands at 252 meters - making it the tallest structure in Austria (and among the 75 tallest in the world). Twin high-speed elevators fly you to the top and there you can enjoy two restaurants and traditional coffee bar - or simply soak in the awe-inspiring views. visitor rating 4.5/5 (603 reviews).
