Hietzing, Vienna's 13th district, spreads west of the central city and incorporates residential areas alongside extensive Vienna Woods. Schloss Schönbrunn, Tiergarten Schönbrunn, and Lainzer Tiergarten anchor the district's principal attractions. The landscape of palaces, woods, and viewpoints makes it a substantial destination for those drawn to imperial history and natural scenery.
