The 23rd district (Liesing) is Vienna's southernmost district and, like Floridsdorf, was only incorporated into the city in the 20th century. Here, too, there are several village centers, each with its own character.
The west reaches into the Vienna Woods (Wienerwald), with hiking and cycling trails that start right at residential streets. In the south, wine is grown – Mauer is one of Vienna's lesser-known Heuriger (wine tavern) areas. The east is dominated by business parks and large housing complexes.
Liesing isn't a classic destination for visitors, but it is a good starting point for a day in the green without crossing the city limits.
The district also has one of Vienna's most unusual buildings: the Wohnpark Alterlaa, a 1970s housing complex with swimming pools on the roofs and planters on the façades. It is still considered one of the housing projects with the most satisfied residents in Europe and is visited by architecture enthusiasts from all over the world. From the U6 station Alterlaa, you're standing right in front of it.
Getting there: U6 (Perfektastraße, Erlaaer Straße, Alterlaa, Siebenhirten), S-Bahn (commuter rail) at Liesing, tram 60.
