The Urania is a people's education center with an observatory. The club was founded in 1897 and opened its neo-baroque style clubhouse in 1910. Today the Vienna Urania is an institution of the "Wiener Volkshochschulen GmbH".

The Urania in Vienna is an impressive building that is considered one of the city's most striking landmarks. Built in 1910 in Art Nouveau style, the Urania originally served as a public education and entertainment center. Its name is derived from the muse of astronomy, Urania, which already indicates the astronomical and scientific activities that play a central role here.

Particularly noteworthy is the large planetarium, which impresses not only with its architectural beauty but also with its modern program. The Urania offers a wide range of events, including scientific lectures, films and cultural events. The building's observation deck offers a spectacular view of the city and the Danube, which also makes the Urania a popular place for tourists.

Today, the Urania is not only a cultural center, but also a symbol of scientific education and civic engagement in Vienna.
