Vienna Apartments

When seeking an apartment in Vienna, be prepared that the typical apartment may seem smallish and pricey compared to most cities of the U.S. You should also know that clothes dryers and air conditioning are not common. There are 23 districts in Vienna. The middle two numbers of Vienna's four digit zip codes represent the district number (ex. 1060 is in the 6th district). The 1st – 9th are the “main” central Vienna districts. Click here for more information regarding districts in Vienna.

The following sites can help you to find an apartment in Vienna. Most are going to be furnished and labeled as being vacation rentals; though the majority of property owners/managers are open to long term renting. There can be a wide range of values among properties of the same price. It is best to schedule an appointment and see the apartment first if possible. Photos are not always the most faithful representation of the apartment being offered and say nothing about the actual neighborhood.

Vienna Residency & Registration

You are required to register your residence if you are staying for any extended period of time, even if it is just a long vacation in Vienna. Each adult will need to fill out a Meldezettel (click to open PDF of form). If you don't know German, download our PDF of the English Guide to the Meldezettel. Sign the Meldezettel, have the landlord sign it, then take it to get a "bestatigung der meldung", your confirmation of registration, from a Weiner Meldeservice office in your district; district in German is "Bezirk".
