Coffeehouses around the City Center
In Vienna, people go to a coffee house to meet friends, do business, read newspapers, watch people. Oh yes, and to drink coffee. The coffee houses are places of relaxation, where time stands still. The so-called suburban cafés are usually less busy, but just as beautiful as the coffee houses in the city center.
The Art Nouveau café is located slightly off the beaten track and focuses on contemporary cuisine and coffee specialties. Besides the elegant wood paneling and green booths, the billiard tables here are also an attraction.

On the lively Mariahilfer Strasse, Café Ritter comes across like a step back in time. Red faux leather benches, marble tables, large mirrors, stucco on the ceilings – a Viennese coffee house scarcely gets more classical than this. Visitors find peace and quiet here – and the hustle and bustle of life remains outside.

Founded in 1880, Sperl is considered to be a classic synonym for Viennese coffeehouse culture. An interior just like one from the 19th century, pool tables and a large selection of newspapers will whisk you away into fin-de-siècle Vienna. You simply must try the Sperltorte!

Café Eiles has also been completely dusted off. It is now fresh and airy, and yet still a traditional Viennese café. This trick doesn't always succeed. There's coffee and cake to enjoy here, and the menu is also worth a look.

This popular suburban café in the bohemian district of Hietzing with its beautiful garden and delicious pastries is ideal after a visit to Schönbrunn Palace. The Biedermeier atmosphere is particularly inviting.

Wonderful suburban café with a modern touch. Following its renovation, Café Schopenhauer still has the elements of an old Viennese coffee house, but is at the same time bright and friendly. The delicious cakes and pastries simply have to be tried!
