💡 Tips
- Take the historical 'Rollfähre' (cable ferry) across the Danube to Klosterneuburg; it's an appealing alternative to crossing by bridge and a great photo opportunity.
- Parking near the neo-Gothic town hall (Rathaus) on the main square is usually limited to short terms (Kurzparkzone); use the park-and-ride at the train station for longer stays.
- The city has a rich shipbuilding history; walk down to the old shipyard area (Werft) to see remnants of its industrial past.
- Combine your visit with a trip to the nearby Burg Kreuzenstein, a remarkable medieval castle just a short drive away.

Korneuburg is located on the left bank of the Danube, just a few kilometers north of Vienna, and is home to a bustling history. Originally established as a trading hub, the city developed into a major center for shipbuilding in the 19th century. The former Korneuburg shipyard shaped the city's economic profile for decades and stands today as a testament to its industrial past, with parts now repurposed for cultural use. The heart of the city is the expansive main square featuring the striking Town Hall, a Neo-Gothic masterpiece from the late 19th century that dominates the skyline with its high tower. Korneuburg serves as an important administrative and educational center for the southern Weinviertel region. Geographically, the city is set between the Danube and the foothills of the Bisamberg, offering residents diverse leisure opportunities in nature. The connection to the federal capital, Vienna, via the S-Bahn and the Danube motorway makes Korneuburg an attractive residence for commuters. Culturally, the city gives a lively club scene and regular events like the Korneuburg Summer of Music. Remnants of the city walls and the Gothic parish church of St. Aegidius bear witness to the town's medieval significance. In recent years, Korneuburg has modernized through urban renewal projects, with the revitalization of the old shipyard areas being a central future project to open the city even more towards the river.
