Mexikoplatz

St. Francis of Assisi Church (German: Kirche zum heiligen Franz von Assisi), also known as the Emperor's Jubilee Church (German: Kaiserjubiläumskirche) and the Mexico Church (German: Mexikokirche), is a Basilica-style Catholic church in Vienna, Austria. Built between 1898 and 1910, it was consecrated in 1913. It is located on the Mexikoplatz in Vienna's Second District, Leopoldstadt, and is administered by the Order of the Holy Trinity.

Vorgartenstraße is a Metro station on the U1 Line of the Vienna U-Bahn. It is located in the Leopoldstadt District. The station was first opened to the public on September 3, 1982. Its name derives from the adjacent road "Vorgartenstraße" (literal translation: "Front-Yard-Street"), which had been named that way in 1903 due to its, at the time, unusually high number of residences containing a front yard.

The Reichsbrücke (German for Imperial Bridge) is a major bridge in Vienna, linking Mexikoplatz in Leopoldstadt with the Donauinsel in Donaustadt across the Danube. The bridge is used by 50,000 vehicles per day and carries six lanes of traffic, U-Bahn tracks, two footpaths, two cyclepaths and two utility tunnels.

Donauinsel is a station on U1 of the Vienna U-Bahn. It is located on Donauinsel Island, in the Donaustadt district. It opened in 1982. The station is below the Reichsbrücke bridge.

The New Danube (German Neue Donau) is a side channel built in 1972–88 on the eastern side of the Danube in Vienna, Austria. It was created to provide flood relief by containing excess water. The Donauinsel (Danube Island), made out of the removed material, separates the new waterway from the main channel of the river. The project was referred to by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) as "the first truly multipurpose fully sustainable flood protection scheme."The New Danube flows parallel to the river for approximately 21 kilometres (13 mi) through the Vienna metropolitan area. It diverges from the main channel in Langenzersdorf in Lower Austria (northwest of the city), flows through the 21st district, and rejoins it at the Danube-Auen National Park in the 22nd district (in the southeast). The channel is about 150 metres (160 yd) wide; the island varies between 70 and 210 metres (77 and 230 yd) in width. The current course of the New Danube and the site of the Danube Island were previously a broad landscape of meadows set aside as a floodplain in the first effort to manage Danube floods, in 1868–75. The left, northern bank of the New Danube is protected by the Hubertus Dam (Marchfeld Protective Dam), completed in 1875. Following disastrous flooding in Vienna in 1954, years of discussion led to a new plan for regulating the Danube involving creating a relief channel and a long barrier island. Construction began in 1972 and was completed only in 1988. At the beginning of the New Danube is a weir known as the influx building (Einlaufbauwerk), which is normally closed, making the New Danube a still body of water. When the Danube rises, it is opened to relieve pressure on the river and prevent flooding. This usually leads to a ban on swimming in the New Danube lasting for as long as several weeks, until the water quality improves. Further weirs are located just upstream of the Prater Bridge (Weir 1) and on the level of the Lobau oil terminal (Weir 2), approximately 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) before the New Danube rejoins the main channel. The New Danube can be reached via U-Bahn lines U6 (Neue Donau station), U1 (Donauinsel station) and U2 (Donaustadtbrücke station), via tram line 31 across the Floridsdorf Bridge, and via various city bus lines. It has stretches suitable for regattas—in September 2009 the World Rowing Masters Regatta took place there—and a waterski lift. The best known stretch of shoreline is the Copa Cagrana, next to the Reichsbrücke. Private motorboats are not permitted on the New Danube.

The Donauinsel (Danube Island) is a long, narrow artificial island in central Vienna, Austria, lying between the Danube river and the parallel excavated channel Neue Donau ("New Danube"). The island is 21.1 km (13.1 mi) in length, but is only 70–210 m (230–689 ft) wide. It was constructed from 1972 to 1988 primarily as a measure for flood protection.It has since become the most popular recreational area of the city.

Messe-Prater is a station on U2 of the Vienna U-Bahn. It is located in the Leopoldstadt District. It opened in 2008.

DC Towers (also known as Donau City Towers) refers to a construction project in Vienna's District Donaustadt. The towers are designed by French architect Dominique Perrault.

Donauparkhalle was an indoor ice rink in Vienna-Donaustadt in Austria. It was originally built as an expo venue in 1964, next to an earlier landfill in Donaupark near Kaisermühlen, to be used for the garden-themed exhibition Wiener Internationale Gartenschau. Two years later, it was rebuilt into an indoor ice rink.During the 1966/1967 season, Wiener EV played its first home games inside. Later, it was used as home venue for the Vienna club WAT Stadlau. The venue was popular for its acoustics. The venue was demolished following the 1990/1991 season, as the area was planned to be used for the 1995 world exhibition that was never hosted.

Wiener Looping is a steel roller coaster at Wurstelprater (located within Wiener Prater) in Leopoldstadt, Vienna, Austria. Built by Mack Rides, the coaster will span multiple sections of the amusement park and be one of its few attractions operated by owner Stefan Sittler-Koidl. Wiener Looping was first announced in 2021 but was marred by several construction setbacks, most notably the unauthorized demolition of a nightclub and its associated legal injunction. The coaster is planned to open in September 2024.

Via Donau (sometimes stylized as viadonau) is a subsidiary of the Austrian Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (BMVIT) tasked with the preservation and development of the Danube waterway. It was established in 2005.

Messe Wien (English: Trade Fair of Vienna) is the biggest trade fair in Austria and one of the most important economic factors of Vienna. This venue failed to win the bid for hosting the Eurovision Song Contest 2015, after Conchita Wurst won the final in 2014.
