Main image

Mexikoplatz is a public square in Vienna, located in the city’s western residential districts. It is named in recognition of Austria’s historical ties with Mexico.

The square functions as a local urban space rather than a major tourist attraction; it is used by residents for short visits and as a point of access to nearby green areas. Nearby streets connect the square to regional tram and bus routes.

The square acquired its current name in the 20th century to commemorate diplomatic relations and historical ties with Mexico. It has served as a municipal public space since its designation.

Located in Vienna’s Hietzing area, Mexikoplatz sits on the western side of the city near the Vienna Woods and the Lainzer greenbelt.

  • District location: Found in the Hietzing district on the western side of Vienna, adjacent to the Vienna Woods and greenbelt areas.
