City & Place Guide

Imperial history meets modern life in Lower Austria's medieval city.

Wiener Neustadt is a compact city of around 45,000 people located about 50 kilometers south of Vienna in Lower Austria. Founded in 1194, it served as a residence for Habsburg emperors and played a central role in Central European medieval history. Despite heavy damage in World War II, the city retains impressive historic monuments alongside a lively university town atmosphere.

The city is home to the Austrian Military Academy, one of the oldest military academies in the world, housed in a former imperial castle. A pedestrian-friendly old town core, good rail connections to Vienna, and a range of cafés and local restaurants make it an easy and rewarding day trip or short stay.
