Donaukanal Street Art and Riverside Path

Donau Kanal used to be a stinking hole some 30 years ago. It got cleaned up somewhere in the 90es and progressed to one of the most popular recreation routes in the city.
And a party mile in summer too.

The Danube Canal is a former arm of the Danube that is now regulated as a water canal. It branches off from the Danube near Nussdorf, flows around the city center of Vienna and flows back into the Danube at the Praterspitz. It is 17.3 km long and has an average width of 70 m2. The Danube Canal used to be an important traffic route for shipping, today it is primarily a popular recreational area for the Viennese population.
There are numerous restaurants, bars, lidos and works of art to discover along the Danube Canal. The Danube Canal is considered one of the most beautiful city beaches in Europe and offers a lively atmosphere in summer. The best-known bars on the Danube Canal include Motto am Fluss, Tel Aviv Beach, Badeschiff and Adria Wien. The graffiti art on the Danube Canal is also worth seeing and shows the creative side of the city.

Great bike and footpath along the canal; close to the city center with numerous clubs and beach bars as well as a bathing ship and piers for boat tours
