This residential district, with its elegant streets and 18C façades, takes its name from Emperor Josef II. It lies just behind the University and the Law Courts which is why so many students and lawyers can be seen in the local restaurants. There are well-known theatres such as the Theater in der Josefstadt, founded in 1788, an interesting Popular Art and Traditions Museum, churches of course and, as is often the case in Vienna, historical reminders of a few famous people.
