The 10. Bezirk — Favoriten — was created in 1874 from parts of the former Wieden district plus pieces of Margareten and Landstraße and the rural villages of Inzersdorf, Oberlaa and Unterlaa. It has been Vienna's most populous district almost continuously since 1919 (220,324 residents in 2024 — narrowly overtaken by Donaustadt at 220,794), and over 10% of the city's population lives here. The 2014 opening of Wien Hauptbahnhof on the district's northern edge — and the post-Hauptbahnhof reinvention of the surrounding Sonnwendviertel — turned Favoriten into a serious office address for the first time in its 150-year history. For coworking, the headline is the cluster around the Hauptbahnhof, anchored by the Spaces Icon Central Station tower (Gertrude-Fröhlich-Sandner-Straße 2, three full floors of workspace) and the IDEA Spaces tower nearby on Av. Defensores de Chaves equivalent.
Favoriten was historically Vienna's working-class anchor, shaped by labour migration from Bohemia, the Linienwall border (today's Gürtel) and the rapid 19th-century industrialisation that turned the district into a stronghold of the Vienna labour movement. That heritage is still visible in the Karl-Marx-Hof-style Gemeindebau housing, the Reumannplatz Eissalon Tichy ice-cream institution, and the Viktor-Adler-Markt food market — all walking distance from the new corporate cluster.
The post-2014 reinvention concentrates around Wien Hauptbahnhof. The Spaces Icon Central Station occupies three floors of Tower 9 in the new Quartier Belvedere / Sonnwendviertel cluster on Gertrude-Fröhlich-Sandner-Straße 2, with capacity for several hundred members across hot desks, dedicated desks and private offices. IDEA Spaces operates a separate location nearby. Members are typically corporate teams using the Hauptbahnhof for ÖBB-distributed work, day-pass travellers passing through from the airport, and Vienna outposts of European companies that prioritise the rail connection over a Ringstraße address.
The 10. Bezirk's office economy is concentrated in the Sonnwendviertel — the new Class-A development around Wien Hauptbahnhof, opened progressively from 2014 onwards. The Erste Group main campus, the ÖBB headquarters and the regional offices of major insurers and consultancies anchor the cluster. Outside the Hauptbahnhof zone, Favoriten is residential and retail-led, with the Viktor-Adler-Markt and the Reumannplatz / Favoritenstraße pedestrian shopping street defining daily life for the 220 000 residents.
U-Bahn: The district has a full U1 axis — Hauptbahnhof, Keplerplatz, Reumannplatz, Troststraße, Altes Landgut, Alaudagasse, Neulaa and Oberlaa. The U1 is the busiest U-Bahn line in Vienna and the standard commuting route from Favoriten to the Innere Stadt (around 10 minutes from Reumannplatz to Stephansplatz).
Train: Wien Hauptbahnhof is Austria's main rail hub, with ÖBB Railjet to Salzburg, Munich, Prague, Budapest and Zürich, plus the S7 S-Bahn to the airport in 16 minutes.
Tram + bus: The Gürtel is served by tram lines 6 and 18; multiple Wiener Linien buses cross the district.
Walking: Wieden is 5 minutes north of the Hauptbahnhof; Margareten 8 minutes north-west; the Belvedere gardens 5 minutes north of the Hauptbahnhof entrance.
Airport: Vienna International (VIE) is around 16 minutes by S7 direct from Wien Hauptbahnhof.
Wien Hauptbahnhof — Austria's main rail hub, opened progressively from 2012 to 2015 with the iconic diamond-pattern roof. The northern edge of Favoriten and the new working centre of the district.
Sonnwendviertel — the new mixed-use district built on the post-Südbahnhof brownfield, with the Erste Group campus, ÖBB headquarters, the Helmut-Zilk-Park (the central green space) and a dense residential layer.
Reumannplatz — the central public square named after socialist mayor Jakob Reumann, with the legendary Eissalon Tichy ice-cream parlour and the Amalienbad (1926 Art-Deco public swimming baths).
Favoritenstraße — the pedestrianised shopping street running south from Reumannplatz, the daily commercial spine of the district.
Viktor-Adler-Markt — the historic open-air food market on Viktor-Adler-Platz, the most multicultural market in Vienna.
Therme Wien — the modern thermal-spa complex in Oberlaa at the southern end of the U1, opened 2010, fed by the Oberlaa hot springs.
Favoriten was created in 1874 from a mix of pre-Linienwall districts and rural villages, and the 19th-century industrial boom plus heavy labour migration (mostly from Bohemia) made it the largest by population by 1919. As of 2024 it has 220,324 residents — the second-largest after Donaustadt overtook it by a margin of 470 in early 2024.
Around 16 minutes from Wien Hauptbahnhof on the S7 S-Bahn — the same as from Wien Mitte. Most Favoriten coworking spaces (Spaces Icon Central Station, IDEA Spaces) are 5 minutes' walk from the Hauptbahnhof entrance.
The new mixed-use district built on the post-2012 Hauptbahnhof brownfield, between Favoriten's historic core and the Belvedere. It hosts the Erste Group main campus, the ÖBB headquarters, the Helmut-Zilk-Park and a dense residential layer that has changed the demographic of north-west Favoriten significantly since 2014.
Favoriten is much larger, much more residential, and has the new corporate office cluster around Wien Hauptbahnhof. Innere Stadt is heritage-protected boutique offices in palais. The two are 10 minutes apart on the U1, and the Favoriten Hauptbahnhof cluster is preferred for teams who use ÖBB long-distance services or fly through the airport often.
The U1 — Vienna's busiest line — runs north–south through the district from Hauptbahnhof at the northern boundary to Oberlaa at the southern terminus, with stops at Keplerplatz, Reumannplatz, Troststraße, Altes Landgut, Alaudagasse and Neulaa. Reumannplatz to Stephansplatz takes around 10 minutes.
At the southern end of the U1 in Oberlaa — the modern thermal-spa complex opened in 2010 on the Oberlaa hot springs, with several pools and a sauna landscape. A useful client-meeting venue for teams who want a non-office Vienna experience.
