Please observe the safety information and official requirements for your visit to the Danube Tower Vienna. These rules are designed to ensure the safety of all visitors, especially in case of fire, evacuation or other emergencies.

Rules for Your Visit to the Danube Tower
Dogs and Assistance Dogs
Dogs are not permitted on the Danube Tower. Please leave your dog in suitable care on the ground level. Guide dogs and assistance dogs are, of course, permitted.
Strollers
For safety reasons, strollers cannot be transported in the express lifts. It is therefore not possible to take strollers to the viewing terrace, Turm Café or Turm Restaurant. Our staff at the ticket desk will be happy to show you a suitable storage area in the entrance area. A practical alternative is to bring a baby carrier or car seat.
Open Flames and Candles
For fire safety reasons, the use of open flames and candles is strictly prohibited throughout the entire Danube Tower.
Smoke-Free Danube Tower
For official regulatory reasons, smoking is prohibited throughout the entire Danube Tower.
Wheelchairs and Walkers
Only one wheelchair user per express lift cabin may be transported to exit point 1, the viewing terrace. Each wheelchair user must be accompanied by a companion who can assist with transport if necessary. A maximum of three wheelchair users may be present on the viewing terrace at the same time.
The stairs to the dining areas and to the indoor terrace cannot be used with wheelchairs. Therefore, these areas are unfortunately not accessible by wheelchair. The areas on the ground floor are barrier-free.
Walkers cannot be taken into the restaurant or café. However, they can be transported by lift up to 165 m. From there, guests must be able to use the stairs on foot. The walker will be returned to the ground floor in the meantime.
Events on the Indoor Terrace
The indoor terrace must remain freely accessible at all times and can therefore only be visually separated. It is part of the escape route and evacuation zone in case of fire or emergency for Turm Restaurant, Turm Café and the central level.
Liquid gas and open flames, such as candles or sparklers, are strictly prohibited throughout the entire tower head. Furniture and decorative objects must comply with flammability class B1 according to ÖNORM B 3800/1 and may only be used if compliance has been verifiably confirmed.
