A horseshoe of seven districts - the third to the ninth - form the inner suburbs known as the Vorstadte . Neatly confined between the Ringstrasse and the Gurtel, they have remained predominantly residential, though each one is cut through with a busy commercial thoroughfare, the largest of which is the city's main shopping drag, Mariahilferstrasse , which divides the sixth and seventh districts. Sights in the Vorstadte are widely dispersed, so it pays to be selective. The one sight that no visitor should miss is the Belvedere , in the third district, with its formal gardens and twin-set of Baroque palaces, which house some wonderful works of art. Two other sights that positively heave with visitors in summer are the wacky Hundertwasserhaus , also in the third district, and the Freud Museum in the ninth. Even for those not keen on military paraphernalia, the Arsenal is worth visiting for its quasi-Moorish architecture alone.
