Penzing

Penzing is an administrative district spanning Vienna's western area with residential neighborhoods, parks, and community facilities. The area includes several distinct neighborhoods with varying character and infrastructure.

The area was originally an independent village and became Vienna's fourteenth district during late nineteenth-century city expansion. This incorporation happened as the city underwent major modernization and grew outward.

The district hosts cultural institutions that regularly present exhibitions and performances throughout the year. You will find spaces where residents gather to celebrate and share events together.

The area connects well to central Vienna through the U-Bahn metro system and multiple bus routes. Public transportation makes it easy to reach all parts of the district and nearby areas.

Schloss Wilhelminenberg sits on a hilltop and was originally built as a private palace before becoming a hotel in modern times. From there you can see sweeping views across the entire city.
