A neighbourhood (Grätzl) in Vienna's 3rd district. Strongest on Public transport and Safety, while Quiet is more of a trade-off.
Landstraßer Hauptstraße is a place of coming and going, where life takes its rhythm from the busy shopping street. Here you find everything for daily needs, from markets to small local shops, set within Vienna's typically dense building. But no calm settles in at night — life stays outdoors until late.
Gründerzeit apartment houses shape the streetscape.
The six dimensions
Light & built form
Landstraßer Hauptstraße is densely and tall built — light falls narrow between the facades, and the lanes turn shady earlier in the day. Measured at the Grätzl centre: about 14.3 hours of direct sun on the longest day, about 3.4 in December. In the evening the sun disappears early behind the buildings. How bright a single flat is comes down to floor, orientation and courtyard vs. street side — the measurement is for the Grätzl centre.

Is Landstraßer Hauptstraße dangerous?
Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Landstraßer Hauptstraße sits at 8.0 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Excellent).

Within a district, the gap between a busy hub and a quiet side street is usually larger than the gap between two districts.
