The first 'Urban Entertainment Centre' in Europe, opened in 2001. It's a city within the city, a complex in nostalgic brick. Four gas reservoirs are more than a century old, 70 m high and covered with glass and metal. They present a bizarre beauty. Between the towers, a huge elegant shopping street came into being, including the city archive, a concert hall with more than 300 seats, a giant cinema with 16 halls and a number of office premises and residential spaces. The centre, located in the suburb Simmerung, got its own metro station (Gasometer), at an 8 minutes walk from the Stephansplatz. It's situated within walking distance of the airport (barely 15 minutes).
