Wieden is a bohemian base from which to explore the city. It's within walking distance of the historic centre, but owing to Vienna's renowned public transport system, you can take a tram or the metro to all the major sights from Karlsplatz. As it's a university district, expect a young, trendy crowd, and plenty of chic eateries and bohemian bars. Instead of opera music, you'll hear electronic beats, and at night, the streets get lively. Naschmarkt is a favourite haunt of locals, an old market now home to popular multi-ethnic restaurants, a testament to the area's multi-cultural demographic. For culture vultures, Wieden boasts its own fabulously ornate Hapsburg palace, the iconic and grand Belvedere, now home to a glorious art gallery. The best hotels in Wieden, include a stylish boutique just a 5-minute walk from the Karlsplatz Underground Station — the perfect home-away-from-home in Vienna.
