If at some point in time you get tired of the imperial luxury of Vienna, and you want to see a completely different Vienna, then you definitely need to go to the eleventh district of the city, to the Gasometers complex.
How to get there? Metro line U3, to the Gasometer stop.
What are Gasometers? This is an alliance of housing and shopping and entertainment center in converted industrial buildings. The trick is that it all takes place inside giant gas storages - four round red brick towers built in 1886. To match the Gasometers, the residential complex "Ville Verdi" of an unusual shape is located nearby.
Gasometer A was made by Jean Nouvel - there are several shopping floors and a glass dome. Gasometer B was made by the duo Coop Himmelb(l)au. Outside, the so-called "Shield" is attached to it - a tall flat building, broken in the middle. Gasometer C (architect Manfred Wedorn) has a courtyard faç ade that goes up in steps.
And on the roof of Gasometer D (designed by Wilhelm Holzbauer) there is an indoor garden that creates a feeling of closeness to nature among residents.
