Where to stay with toddlers (ages 1–3)

Flat neighbourhood + lift-access accommodation + a park nearby beats any amount of “central” with a stroller.

📍 Innere Stadt (1st district)

Fully walkable to Stephansdom, museums, opera. Elegant and expensive; feels like a trip inside a trip.

📍 Mariahilf (6th district)

Family-friendly, shopping on Mariahilferstraße, close to Museumsquartier. Great value and great trams.
