Situated just across the Danube from the historic centre, Leopoldstadt is a pretty trendy place to be in Vienna. Plus it affords easy access to the rest of the city. All you have to do is stroll along the Praterstraße boulevard and you'll get there. As a destination in its own right, it's effortlessly chic, with hip beach-club-style bars strung along the canal. It's a historically Jewish neighbourhood too, so expect mouth-watering, 100% kosher cuisine. Guru tip: head to the kosher food stalls lining Karmelitermarkt. You'll thank us later. It has an easy-going vibe, and Prater Park enhances this: a massive green space with an amusement park too — perfect if you're travelling with little ones in tow. Our pick of the best places to stay in Leopoldstadt, Vienna, embodies the cool, laid-back spirit of the area.
