The hip and picturesque Siebensternviertel looks and feels like a small town implanted into a vibrant metropolis. Its compact pedestrian alleys and cute 19th-century houses are populated by the city’s intelligentsia. Artists and academics from all corners of the world call the neighborhood home. The centerpiece is the Spittelberg, with its cultural establishments (such as the MuseumsQuartier), fancy bars, third-wave coffee shops and tiny concept stores.
