Simmering is not only characterized by historical sights, but also offers a rich selection of cultural and culinary delights.

• Gasometer 
  The four gasometers, formerly huge gas storage tanks, were transformed into a modern residential and business district in the new millennium. Today, they house a shopping center, concert halls and extraordinary living areas. We recommend visiting them to experience the impressive combination of historic industrial architecture and contemporary city life.
  Mit der U3 U-Bahn Linie ist man in nur wenigen Minuten - 1 Station - beim Gasometer.
