Wonderful experience in the tower cafe with my grandson!
I visited the tower cafe yesterday with my grandson and will think back on this experience with great joy for a long time! Although there were many guests, we were served extremely courteously and kindly by our waiter, and our request for a "window seat" was also granted after a short time. The ambiance was very impressive, the food and drinks were very good and were served very quickly. At the end, he even asked if he should take a photo of us, which we joyfully agreed to! Thank you for the nice gesture!

Excellent
A bit out of the way but definitely worth it. The cafe has some excellent food & drinks- would definitely recommend. Lovely panoramic view. Staff were lovely.

10/10 experience, lots of little details!
This was such an amazing experience! I often visit lookout towers when I go to other countries so I knew this was on my list. If you book online, you save a couple of euros however the price was fair. The price for the slide was fair for the attraction, comparing it to similar attraction in other countries such as the Adam swing in Amsterdam. We stayed a good length of time, you can stay as long as you want. We didn’t visit the restaurant however we visited the cafe and were very impressed that it slowly rotated giving 360 views of the city. The price in the cafe was also fair and what you’d expect. The coffee even had a chocolate stencil of the tower on which I loved the little touches. For an added price, you could purchase photos, just like at other attractions. I really enjoyed this experience and if I came back to Vienna, I would definitely go again. I’d recommend this to anyone I know visiting the county!

I suggest you take a look at this too.
A scenic experience. You can't sit down at the restaurant and have a drink without a reservation. It's a bit far from Vienna's center, but I think it's worth seeing.
Operator response

Fantastic views
Definitely a must when visiting Vienna. The views are outstanding. We had cake and a drink in the revolving cafe at the top which was an experience. Cake was delicious. For the bravest there’s a slide on the outside of the tower which is fun.

We had a wonderful time visiting the Danube Tower in Vienna with our family on July 30, 2026. The views from the top were absolutely breathtaking, giving us a beautiful panoramic view of Vienna and the Danube River. It was a relaxing and memorable experience, with plenty of great photo opportunities. A perfect place to enjoy the beauty of Vienna from above. We truly enjoyed our family time here and would definitely recommend the Danube Tower to anyone visiting Vienna!

Very beautiful tower both inside and outside , we can go to 6 different floors . In the first that is on the ground has the store, in the 2nd floor that is 150 meters away has the observatory that can see the landscape on the outside of the tower, in the 3rd floor is 155m has the observatory from inside the tower. On the 4th floor is 160m has the café from the tower where it is always turning at 360 degrees and has food and drink. On the 5th floor is 165m has a slide that you can go down outside the tower. And on the 6th floor that is 170m away there is the restaurant that also turns 360 degrees , and the food is very good

Once and never again!!!
The Danube Tower as a destination in Vienna is a must. However, eating in the restaurant is not advisable. The prices match the height of the tower. 3 people, 2 drinks each and one main course including the charged cover charge per person, total 180€!!!! Without extras and without a lift ticket!!! A reservation is mandatory!!!! You have to think about that carefully!!
Operator response
Vielen Dank für Ihre Rückmeldung. Es freut uns, dass Sie den Donauturm grundsätzlich als sehenswertes Ausflugsziel wahrgenommen haben. Schade, dass das Turm Restaurant Ihre Erwartungen hinsichtlich des Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnisses nicht erfüllt hat. Die aktuelle Speisekarte mit allen Preisen sowie die Information zum Gedeck und zur verpflichtenden Hauptspeise sind bereits vor der Reservierung auf unserer Website einsehbar. So können sich Gäste vorab einen transparenten Überblick über das Angebot und die zu erwartenden Kosten verschaffen. Auch der Hinweis, dass für das Turm Restaurant eine Reservierung erforderlich ist, wird dort klar angeführt. Restaurantgäste erhalten außerdem 50 % Ermäßigung auf die Eintrittstickets zum Donauturm. Wir bedauern, dass Sie Ihren Besuch dennoch in so negativer Erinnerung behalten haben.

Beautiful views
Enjoyed the tower and it's views. Used the vienna pass for entry. Go up in a lift and beautiful 360 views of vienna with areas signposted. Other things to do beyond the observation deck as well such as a slide and restaurant. Recommended.
