Many inexpensive hotels can be found in the Margareten area - in addition to this advantage, travelers will also like to live here due to the proximity to the center and the presence of cozy cafes and restaurants. And if tourists want to rent apartments at low prices, then they should take a closer look at the sleeping area of Vienna - Favoriten.
A very convenient area for tourists is Wieden - staying here, tourists will be close to the center, the Naschmarkt market and the Mariahilfestrasse shopping street.
