Neighbourhood guide

Penzing

Otto Wagner, the technology museum and Rapid

Penzing stretches from the Mariahilfer Straße out to the Vienna Woods. It is home to the Technisches Museum Wien, Otto Wagner's church on the Baumgartner Höhe and the Rapid stadium in Hütteldorf.

The Technisches Museum Wien covers technology and industry on Mariahilfer Straße. Higher up, the Otto-Wagner-Areal and the Kirche am Steinhof form a hilltop campus with Art Nouveau buildings.

Hütteldorf, at the western end, has the Allianz Stadion of SK Rapid Wien and trails into the Wienerwald, and Wolfersberg and the Steinhofgründe offer walks.

Getting there

The U4 ends at Hütteldorf, which is also served by regional trains, and the U3 stops at Kendlerstraße in the north. Trams and buses reach the Technisches Museum and the Baumgartner Höhe. Check routes on wienerlinien.at.
