A neighbourhood (Grätzl) in Vienna's 16th district. Strongest on Public transport and Affordability, while Quiet is more of a trade-off.
The Thaliastraße lives by day: here you shop, meet friends in the many small bars, feel the rhythm of the district. It doesn't grow quieter in the evening — the street stays busy.
The streetscape is almost solidly Gründerzeit apartment houses.
The six dimensions
Light & built form
Thaliastraße is densely and tall built — light falls narrow between the facades, and the lanes turn shady earlier in the day. The slope takes part of the low evening sun early. Measured at the Grätzl centre: about 11.4 hours of direct sun on the longest day, about 1.4 in December. The low winter sun (only ~18° at noon in Vienna) mostly stays behind the rooftops here. How bright a single flat is comes down to floor, orientation and courtyard vs. street side — the measurement is for the Grätzl centre.

How safe is Thaliastraße?
Safety in Thaliastraße: Good (7.0/10), based on official police crime statistics. A non-binding orientation value for the area, not a statement about any single address.
Is Thaliastraße dangerous?
Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Thaliastraße sits at 7.0 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Good). One thing worth knowing when reading such figures: crime statistics count offences where they HAPPEN, not where those affected live. Districts with major stations, nightlife and many visitors therefore collect more reports without a residential street a few corners away being any different. Within a district, the gap between a busy hub and a quiet side street is usually larger than the gap between two districts.
How good is public transport in Thaliastraße?
Public transport in Thaliastraße: Excellent (8.8/10) – based on proximity to metro, tram and bus (Wiener Linien).
Is Thaliastraße noisy?
Quiet in Thaliastraße: Average (6.1/10), based on traffic-noise exposure. Part of the area sits along Lerchenfelder Gürtel; a few streets further in it gets noticeably quieter. Right there, traffic drowns out a conversation with the window open (calculated above 75 dB by day). At night it calms down noticeably — the level drops below the threshold at which mapping begins. The busiest named axes nearby, by official annual traffic volume: Lerchenfelder Gürtel (~22,878/day), Hernalser Gürtel (~22,149/day), Ottakringer Straße (~19,287/day).
How hot does Thaliastraße get in summer?
In summer Thaliastraße is rather warm — about the Vienna average. Heat index 60 of 100 (Vienna average 57), modelled. Dense, enclosed building form stores the day's heat and releases it slowly at night; there is little green to cool it. This is a MODELLED index (from building form, density, green space, street trees, water and elevation, checked against the City of Vienna's climate analysis map), not a measured temperature and not a count of hot days. Within one area it varies a lot: a green courtyard and a treeless street a few metres apart are not the same place.
