Traveler reviews
Omer Bar
★★★★★2 months agoThe Danube Tower is absolutely worth the ticket price. Amazing panoramic views over Vienna. I went there around sunset and the views were beautiful. I also tried the slide for 6 euros, and it was an incredible experience that sent me straight back to being 16 again. There is a rotating restaurant at the top that looks very elegant, and I recommend booking a table in advance. There is also a café one floor above, which looks great for a nice meeting or a relaxed coffee. Definitely worth visiting, especially if it is your first time in Vienna.
Csongor Varga
★★★★★4 months agoWonderful views of the entire city. We arrived close to sunset which makes some beautiful views, but hard to see the city in that direction. I did not try the slide that is too scary for me. I have vertigo but the viewing terrace was still safe for me. I can recommend to anyone. We got a combined ticket with the Zoo enterance, we just showed up and walked to the elevator.
