Aquarium Haus des Meeres is the largest aquarium in Austria, located in the area of Mariahilfer city of Vienna – the capital of the country. The aquarium is located in an old 11-storey building 50 meters high, in a shape resembling a wide tower. The building was built during World War II as part of the city’s air defense. After the end of the war it ceased its previous function and in 1956 was transferred to the public aquarium Haus des Meeres. Since then, the aquarium has been actively developed and at the moment its area is more than 5 thousand m2. It is home to more than 1,100 species of animals, birds and fish, including rare, exotic and listed in the red book.

On the upper 11th floor of the tower is a viewing platform from which you can see a stunning panoramic view of almost the whole of Vienna from a height.
