Send Flowers to Sankt Pölten, Austria

Sankt Pölten is the youngest state capital in Austria: it took over as capital of Lower Austria from Vienna in the late twentieth century, and a modern government quarter with a festival hall and museum was built beside the river Traisen. The old centre is far older and thoroughly baroque, with the cathedral, the Rathausplatz with its Trinity column and many façades by the architect Jakob Prandtauer, who lived here. The town is on the main western railway, and fast trains reach Vienna in about half an hour, so plenty of residents commute.

Civil servants, students at the university of applied sciences and families make up most recipients, living in the centre, in Wagram, Spratzern, Viehofen, Stattersdorf and St. Georgen. The university hospital serves the whole region. If you want to send flowers to Sankt Pölten, order before midnight local time. A local florist delivers the next day, Monday to Saturday, never on Sundays or public holidays. The feast of St Leopold, patron of Lower Austria, falls on 15 November.
