Evening meal

I will be staying at the Hotel Schloss Wilhelminenberg the week before Xmas. Can anyone recommend a nice restaurant nearby or in the city centre, reasonably priced (an Italian maybe??)? also I have heard there is a restaurant on the Danube Tower, is it expensive? plus how far is it from where I%26#39;m staying and the best way to get there??

hi, I don%26#39;t really know that area so can%26#39;t recommend you any Italian restaurants in that district. the only good restaurants around there I know of are %26quot;Villa Aurora%26quot; and %26quot;Grünspan%26quot; (huge dishes - reasonably priced).

very good italian in the city centre:

%26quot;Da Capo%26quot; Schulerstraße 2; %26quot;Fratelli%26quot; Rotenturmstraße 11, the entrance is on Ertlgasse

the restaurant on the Danube Tower - yes, it%26#39;s expensive. I%26#39;d rather do the brunch if you really want to eat there. or just get a coffee/tea and some cakes at the cafe. on www.donauturm.at you%26#39;ll find all the necessary info in english.

from your hotel to the danube tower it takes an hour. so I%26#39;d plan the visit during the day. from your hotel it takes first bus 46B to Ottakring. from there subway U3 to Stephansplatz. change to U1 to VIC(Kaisermühlen) and there the last change onto bus 20B which stops right at the tower.

There used to be a restaurant at the Schloss Wilheminenberg - not sure if I can recommend it - well,not really. Maybe you like it though.

There is %26quot;Villa Aurora%26quot; however within easy walking distance (3 minutes, walk out of the hotel, turn right downhill and you can´t miss it! A unique place, an old inn and farm - they specialize in huge good Schnitzel. If it´s below freezing point, you may even do some ice-skating there for free.

There is a restaurant guide at www.falter.at (%26quot;wien,wie es isst%26quot;) Lots of Italian restaurants in Vienna.

Forget about the restaurant on the Danube Tower - just go there for the view. Donauturm=Danube Tower is on the other end of the city from where you stay, more than 15 km. Take the bus downhill, then tram J to the city centre, and from the opera/Karlsplatz underground U1 (red line). Will take you more than an hour I suppose.
