Several months ago I was extremely lucky to visit Austria’s tallest building, the DC Tower. It’s located in the hottest business area of Vienna – Donau City, which is a perfect place for a skyscraper like this.

The reason why this location is perfect is because the views from here are simply spectacular: the DC Tower is 250 meters high, and from the top of it you can see Vienna and Danube spreading right in front of your eyes.

The DC Tower observation terrace used to be open for the general public for an entrance fee; unfortunately, according to the official website, it is no longer possible to get there this way. Nevertheless, another possibility to enjoy these breathtaking views still exists: you can go for a lunch/dinner/drinks to the 57 Restaurant & Lounge, named after the floor number, on which it is located. I can’t think of a better place to enjoy a glass of wine!

How to get here: take the U1 and get off at the Kaisermühlen – Vienna International Centre. It takes several minutes to get to the DC Tower from there: you’ll see it straight away, so you’ll be able to find your way instantly. Hope you’re not afraid of heights!
