Währing, Administrative district in Vienna, Austria
Währing is an administrative district in northwest Vienna that spans across the wooded slopes of the Wienerwald and contains both residential neighborhoods and diplomatic quarters. The district is bounded by Döbling to the north, Hernals to the west, and Alsergrund to the east.
The district became home to notable composers in the early 1800s and later developed into an important area for Vienna's diplomatic infrastructure. The growth of residential neighborhoods alongside embassy settlements shaped how the district evolved.
Several foreign embassies are located in Währing, bringing an international character to the district and influencing how certain neighborhoods develop. This diplomatic presence shapes the appearance and feel of many streets throughout the area.
The district uses postal code 1180 and is served by public transport connecting to nearby areas. The terrain includes wooded slopes that create varying elevation levels when exploring on foot.
The Währinger Bach stream flows through the district, creating natural boundaries between residential neighborhoods and embassy grounds. This waterway helps define the distinct character of different areas within the district.
