Why St. Pölten?
St. Pölten – a friendly atmosphere, high quality of life, and low cost of living
- Two private universities and two colleges give the city a lively student atmosphere.
- St. Pölten’s old town is known for its Baroque buildings, and there are several Art Nouveau gems worth discovering. The city center also comes alive at night with bars, cafés, and restaurants.
- The government district impresses with its modern architecture. The Klangturm, the Lower Austrian State Library, the Lower Austrian Festival Hall, and the Museum of Lower Austria are particularly worth a visit.
- As a special offer for NDU students, we provide free admission to most performances in cooperation with the Lower Austrian State Theater.
- Traisenpark, the city center, and the southern part of St. Pölten offer shopping and retail opportunities.
- Three lakes invite you to relax, enjoy water sports, and take walks.
- The Traisenstrand offers a place for relaxation, sports, and leisure activities all year round. From the lakes in the north to the NDU in the south of St. Pölten, Traisenstrand features a bike path and walking trail away from traffic.
- For even more nature, the Mariazellerbahn takes you further into the Mostviertel region and its valleys.
- By train, you can also reach Vienna in 20 minutes and Linz in 45 minutes.
