Haus des Meeres

The Haus des Meeres (House of the Sea) is a public aquarium in Vienna. It is located in Esterhazy Park in downtown Mariahilf district, one block south of the busy Mariahilfer Straße.

The Haus des Meeres houses over ten thousand aquatic beings on an area of around 4,000 square meters inside a tall concrete flak tower built during World War II.

Of course, I didn't see any trapped fish 🐟🐠, but took the elevator to the 11th floor. There is a viewing terrace and a bar/cafe ☕.

I said at the bottom of the elevator that I was going to have a coffee and therefore didn't have to pay a 5.- entrance fee.

The cafe sucks. Arrogant snooty with an average range and inflated prices. In short, I got up again, without any coffee, removed the red ribbon and left the place of embarrassment 🤣 in no time.

So terrace: very cool. Cafe: embarrassing.Read more
