9 Sights & Landmarks in Simmering District That You Shouldn't Miss

September 20, 2021 Velvet Champine

In Vienna, the coffee house isn’t just a hangout: it’s an institution. Lingering over a newspaper with a pastry and a strong espresso drink is, according to UNESCO, officially a Viennese cultural pastime. Walk off your slice of Sachertorte with a self-guided tour of the city’s stunning traditional, Secessionist, and modern architecture, such as the Imperial Palace, the State Opera House, the Kirche am Steinhof, or the Kunsthistorisches Museum, an exercise in ornate geometry.

Die Burgkapelle (Home of the Vienna Boys' Choir)

Reviewed By johnbS5501ML

My wife and I booked seats for the 9.15am mass in the Burgkappele for two reasons, first, go to Sunday mass, 2nd, to hear the Vienna Boys Choir accompanied by the Wiener Philharmonic. The experience was just mesmerising and tearful. These voices singing the entire mass was beautiful. Even if your not of the catholic faith it will move you. Note the choir are seated way above the audience and you can't see them but you can hear them clearly. They do come down and sing a farewell song in front of the alter at the end of mass, not to be missed.

Gasometer

Since the end of the 1990s, four teams of star architects have been working on converting four 112-year-old gasometers into a new urban complex. Vienna undertook a remodelling and revitalization of the protected monuments and in 1995 called for ideas for the new use of the structures. The chosen designs by the architects Jean Nouvel (Gasometer A), Coop Himmelblau (Gasometer B), Manfred Wehdorn (Gasometer C) and Wilhelm Holzbauer (Gasometer D) were completed between 1999 and 2001. Each gasometer was divided into several zones for living (apartments in the top), working (offices in the middle floors) and entertainment and shopping (shopping malls in the ground floors). The shopping mall levels in each gasometer are connected to the others by skybridges. The historic exterior wall of bricks was conserved. There are 615 modern appartements, an event hall holding 3.500 People, a cinemacenter, a shoppingmall, a student home, the viennas municipal archive, offices of telecommunication companies, a kindergarden, schools, medical and other facilities in the four gasometers. Visitors and experts can learn everything they always wanted to know about the new architecture of the gasometers, the history of the gas works and alternate uses (from location for James Bond movies to Gazometer rave events) at a guided tour.
