I (Eli) love art in Mosaic, imagine when I saw that in Vienna there is practically an entire building made by Mosaic pieces, including a small village and a Shopping mall.
This is Hundertwasserhaus, a apartment house located walking distance from two metro stations that was built after the idea and concept of Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser with architect Joseph Krawina as a co-author. The artist focused in architecture, combined an unique style mixing art in mosaic, fun colors and gardening giving harmony with nature and man to this cool village and you will find not only a building apartment but a village that included cafes, souvenirs stores, fountain and even a small shopping mall that even the bathroom is totally different and colourful decorated with mosaic tiles.
We would suggest you check the many pictures and their website before to take a decision to visit the place, because we spent a couple of days in Vienna and we had a spare time to go there and visit since we liked the idea to visit a different place in Vienna and a different neighbourhood than the touristic and historic Old town, but if you just have time enough to visit the main attractions that the city has to offer you might not be interested on this kind of architecture. However overall we spent a great time there.

Recommended: Yes, fun village and mall in a different and unique area of Old town Vienna.
