Living in Hernals
Hernals stretches from the Gürtel via Elterleinplatz to Dornbach and Neuwaldegg at the edge of the Vienna Woods. Near the Gürtel it is urban, with Gründerzeit buildings, markets and Kalvarienberggasse. Further out it becomes quiet and green, with the Schwarzenbergpark, vineyards and villas.
Hernals has no U-Bahn of its own; the U6 on the Gürtel is on the border. Into town you take tram 43, which starts in Neuwaldegg, the S45 from Hernals station, or buses. That makes the district somewhat cheaper than its neighbours Währing and Josefstadt. For families the areas around Dornbach are interesting, for commuters the buildings near the tram. Many buildings in lower Hernals are being renovated, so basic and freshly renovated flats sit side by side.
Good to know: without a U-Bahn, the distance to tram 43 or the S45 matters most in Hernals. Five minutes' walk to the stop makes more difference here than the square metres.
