The Nordbahnviertel is where the former train station, Nordbahnhof, was once located. It’s currently being transformed into a completely new and unique neighbourhood of Vienna. Actually, when strolling through the modern and boxy apartment blocks there, you wouldn’t even know you’re in Vienna. Young families have flocked here, while there are also new cafés, restaurants, and shops popping up in the area.
Go and have a breakfast bagel, or maybe a delicious sweet treat at Ullmann’s Zuckerbäckerei and swing by Sasha Coffee on the Austria Campus to enjoy a cup of specialty coffee there. The recently opened café, Cowome is another good spot for grabbing a coffee in this area.
This magnificent Middle Eastern restaurant, Habibi & Hawara, which is known for its unique marrying of Austrian Schmäh and Oriental cuisine, has also opened a new eatery in this quarter of town.
A huge new hotel, The Student Hotel, has also moved into this area, bringing with it a few new culinary options in their restaurant known as The Commons.
While there’s still construction going on here, this area will become more and more on people’s radars.
