Our home is in a green and residential area with easy access to the centre of Vienna, ie public transport takes around 25 minutes. There are buses from just outside the house to the metro - U1 line (Kagran) and U2 (Donaustadtbrucke).

We are also very close to the Alte Donau - part of the old Danube which blocked off to form a lake. It has lovely cycle/blading/walking paths, places to swim (including jumping platforms) and sunbathe, several places to rent out boats or pedaloes, sailing/wind surfing schools and even a wake boarding area. There are some nice restaurants along the waterfront and it's easy to get on to the Donau Insel for more cycling. There is a nice park within 5 minutes walk with large green area, swings, climbing frames etc.

For the winter, there's a great ice rink close by near Kagran and the park has a small hill for sledging.

There are several supermarkets in walking distance and the Donau Zentrum shopping centre is close by at Kagran.
