Attractions of Vienna

The Danube Tower is one of the Tallest Towers of Austria. I know it as the “Tallest Landmark” in the Austrian Region! Its style is that of the 1960s! Climb up to 150 meter and check out the majestic view of Vienna & the Danube River from above! It has a panoramic view of 360 degrees!

Trivial Fact # 2: The Water, sourced for drinking locally, is natural without any contamination as water is flown from the Austrian Alps directly to the resident’s houses. They do not need any water purifiers as we Indians or anyone does.
