To my taste you should have seen Vienna from two points: from the Danube Tower and from this vantage point here! The Kahlenberg is also recommended in summer for a trip after sunset, with a magnificent view of illuminated Vienna! Always with a rest at one of the Heurigen on the mountain!

The viewing platform on Kahlenberg is one of Vienna's most famous viewpoints, offering a sweeping panoramic view of the city. From the platform, large parts of the Inner City, the Danube, Danube Island, and the outer districts are clearly visible. On a clear day, the view extends far beyond the city limits into the Vienna Basin and the surrounding countryside. Its elevated position on the edge of the Vienna Woods combines nature with city views, making the platform a popular destination for cyclists who want to experience Vienna from a bird's-eye perspective.
