Another Adrenaline-Rushing Way to Enjoy the Skyline

I know I have posted about enjoying the skyline of Vienna at the Justice Palace, but I wanted to introduce a more active and adrenaline rushing way to enjoy the skyline. The other day, I saw something I had never heard before in Vienna! I saw this when I was helping a friend out who entered a commercial contest with basically no budget. We were on the top of Hotel Ibis in Mariahilf. As I entered the rooftop, I saw none other than a bungee jump stand!

It turns out that it is called House- Running, which is a bit different from bungee jumping. Essentially, you strap on a harness and walk on the wall of the building to the ground. Hotel Ibis has 13 stories, so you can imagine how high you will be walking from and how adrenaline- rushing it will be.

Later I checked online, and it costs about 90 euros. But I found a coupon  for 55 euros. In addition to having this nice deal, the view of Vienna from the top of the hotel is actually so beautiful. Also I am fairly sure that you can schedule your time for house- running, and I would say schedule it around the sunset time! Also the sunset side of the building is where you can see the church and more dramatic skyline (as you can see on the picture above). The following is the address (Hotel Ibis Mariahilfe Gurtel 22- 24, 1060 Wien), and you can find more information on this website (http://houserunning-wien.at/)
