The 16th district (Ottakring) reaches from the Gürtel into the Vienna Woods (Wienerwald) and is the district where Vienna's transformation is most visible.
Its heart is Brunnenmarkt & Yppenplatz – after the Naschmarkt, the largest street market in the city, but with a completely different character: here people shop instead of taking photos. Around Yppenplatz, bars and restaurants have opened that are among the best in the city, without anyone ever having officially declared it. The market is liveliest on Saturday mornings.
In the upper part of the district, it quickly turns green: the Wilhelminenberg hills and the Vienna Woods begin practically at the last tram stop.
The district also shares its name with a brewery that has existed since 1837 and is one of the few remaining traditional Viennese companies. Farther up, around the Wilhelminenberg and the Jubiläumswarte lookout tower, the Vienna Woods begin: from the last stop of tram 46, it's just a few minutes to hiking trails with views over the whole city.
Getting there: U3 (Ottakring, Kendlerstraße), U6 (Josefstädter Straße, Thaliastraße), trams 2, 9, 10 and 44.
