Coffeehouses in the Old City

Café Bellaria

A friendly café steeped in tradition, close to the Ringstrasse, Kunsthistorisches Museum and the MuseumsQuartier. The food is excellent and the waiters are friendly and helpful – relaxation is definitely the order of the day here.

Café Central

This legendary literati café, which counted Arthur Schnitzler, Peter Altenberg and Adolf Loos among its regulars, has a charm of its own that transforms a visit into an experience. Viennese cuisine, homemade cakes and pastries and piano music.

A. Gerstner K & K Hofzuckerbäcker

The meeting point between Stephansplatz and Staatsoper. Since 1847, the traditional Gerstner bakery represents the highest quality confectionery. Sweet creations, crafted entirely by hand!

Café Hawelka

This artist’s café is more – it’s a Viennese institution. Gourmets recognize the Hawelka - especially after 10 pm - by the wonderful smell of Buchteln, yeast buns filled with jam. Its unique charm has made the Hawelka a popular meeting place for artists - and an oasis of peace right in the center of the city.

Café Hofburg

This elegant café awaits you in the Imperial Palace, where the Sisi Museum, the Imperial Apartments, the Silver Collection, the Treasuries and the Spanish Riding School bring about nostalgic dreams.

Café & Restaurant at Kunsthistorisches Museum

The pleasures of art and coffee in the domed hall of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, where important works from every era beckon for your attention.

Landtmann beim Burgtheater

Franz Landtmann created a coffeehouse institution when he opened Vienna’s largest “café locality” in the year 1873. His patrons have included Sigmund Freud, Marlene Dietrich, Romy Schneider, Paul McCartney and Hillary Clinton.

Café Mozart

There has been a café on this site since 1794. During the Biedermeier age, it became a popular meeting place for artists. Right opposite the Albertina, and close to the museums in the Imperial Palace and the opera house, to this day this tradition-steeped café combines culture with fine coffee.

Café Museum

No other Viennese coffeehouse can claim to have served more geniuses over the years than Café Museum. Artists Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka were regulars, as were writers Karl Kraus and Elias Canetti, and architects Otto Wagner and Adolf Loos.

Café Sacher

Enjoy the authentic Viennese coffee house atmosphere with a slice of original Sachertorte and a cup of Sacher coffee. A magnificent winter garden frames uninterrupted views of the State Opera House and is transformed into a terrace in Summer...

Café Schwarzenberg

This café has been a popular meeting place since it opened in the 19th century. Here you can enjoy relaxed conversations over traditional coffee and tea specialties and fine pastries.
