Timeline
15:27
Grab a glass of wine at the Heuriger garden of Mayer am Pfarrplatz. The traditional winery has been operating since 1683 and offers a relaxed atmosphere to start your evening.
15:57
Walk to the Karl Marx-Hof. This 1.1 km long public housing complex is the world's longest contiguous one. Arrive early to find a good spot along the facade to watch the light change.
16:27
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a warm glow on the historic architecture. This is the peak moment for photographs and quiet appreciation.
16:42
End the evening at the Pfarrwirt restaurant, operated by the same winery. Housed partly in a 12th-century building known as the 'Beethoven House', it is a perfect place to digest your thoughts and enjoy a meal.
Local tip
The walk from the winery to the housing complex takes about 12 minutes. Allow extra time if you want to explore the grounds of the Karl Marx-Hof before the sun goes down.
