Neubaugasse shines in Advent: Car -free zone for relaxed strolling

In Vienna New Building, there will be a special setting for Christmas visitors on the Advent Days in 2024. The Neubaugasse turns into an inviting pedestrian zone. Cars are not allowed to drive on the days between Mariahilfer Straße and Westbahnstrasse, so that people can stroll undisturbed and enjoy the festive atmosphere. The streets are closed to traffic from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

District head Markus Reiter underlines the importance of this regulation: "The numerous wonderful family businesses here in the new building offer a unique shopping experience. The car -free NeubauGasse becomes the 7th district of the most beautiful backdrop for Advent." This change should not only give the beautiful shop windows the lead, but also create a safe and quiet environment for all visitors. Peter Herzog from the IG of the merchants is also pleased with this step: "A stop for traffic makes it safer and enables a more pleasant mood for everyone who wants a relaxed Christmas stroll."

Various advent offer in new building

But the car -free Neubaugasse offers even more than just stress: music, entertainment and markets create a festive atmosphere. Christmas markets and various activities make the Advent season a special experience. Special highlights are the film screenings for families and the musical performances that enrich Advent. A locally known music group, such as the hornblowers, will also loosen up the frame. Interested parties can view the entire advent program on im7ten.com .

The measure of the pedestrian zone also comes at an important time to alleviate the loads from the current subway construction work. District head Markus Reiter refers to the challenges that this works for local trade, and emphasizes the need for sustainable measures to support the affected companies. "The current construction projects, in particular the U2xu5 climate protection project, are important, but also bring difficulties with them," says Reiter.

In order to enable a similar regulation to the pedestrian zone in 2025, co-financing by the city, the district and the Chamber of Commerce will be sought so that business can continue to benefit in the future. This initiative is viewed as a valuable opportunity to strengthen retail and to offer a better shopping experience in the pre -Christmas period.

Overall, the focus is on the creation of a unique and inviting ambient in Neubaugasse, which invites people to enjoy the Christmas season to the fullest and to experience the variety of offers in this living quarter.
