Neighbourhood guide

Liesing

Vienna's southern edge

Liesing is a green southern district of villages, vineyards and the Wienerberg hill.

The Wotrubakirche, a church made of concrete blocks on the Georgenberg, is the district's best-known sight. Mauer and Rodaun keep their village centres, with old inns and wine taverns.

The Wohnpark Alt-Erlaa is a 1970s residential complex known for its roof pools. The Wienerberg gives a pond and paths, and Liesing proper has the district museum and a market square.

Getting there

The U6 runs to Siebenhirten, with the S-Bahn stopping at Liesing and Atzgersdorf-Mauer. Tram 60 runs from Hietzing to Rodaun, and buses link the villages.
