Josefstadt is fun if you like a student-like atmosphere. It is teeming with cafés and restaurants, just like Yppenplatz.
This is the neighbourhood for you if you are looking for a lively area full of good food. The chic Josefstadt district used to be known as the civil servants' widows' quarter. It is striking that until the mid-17th century, the neighbourhood consisted of fields and vineyards. Many students, young families and also some older, well-to-do Viennese live here, enjoying the village atmosphere. You will find plenty of cafés, restaurants, galleries and unique boutiques. There is always something going on in the square in front of the neo-Gothic Rathaus, from film evenings to ice skating. From Josefstadt, you can reach the colourful Yppenplatz in no time, surrounded by a large market with an exotic flair where you can enjoy good food and drink.
