The Danube Tower is an observation tower located in Vienna, Austria, on the banks of the Danube River. The tower stands at 252 meters tall and is the tallest structure in Austria. It offers visitors panoramic views of the city and the surrounding area from its observation deck, which is located at a height of 150 meters.
The tower was built in 1964 as part of the Austrian National Exhibition, and it was intended to be a temporary structure, but it has remained a permanent feature of the Vienna skyline. The tower's design is a modernist style, with a cylindrical shape, and a distinctive white and silver color scheme.
The observation deck is enclosed and can be reached by elevator. The tower is open to the public, and visitors can purchase tickets to take the elevator to the observation deck. The observation deck offers a 360-degree view of the city, and on a clear day, it is possible to see as far as the Czech Republic and Slovakia. There is also a restaurant located at the base of the tower, which offers traditional Austrian cuisine.
The Danube Tower is located in the Donau City district of Vienna, which is a modern and vibrant area of the city, with many shops, restaurants, and parks. It is easily accessible by public transportation and is close to the United Nations complex, and the Donaupark, a large park along the Danube river.
