  • The Viennese coffee house is a wonderful place to rest after serious sightseeing. The coffee is not cheap but after you have ordered you can sit as long as you like and people watch or there are often newspapers available. The coffee is always served with a glass of water.
    It is said that the first coffee houses opened in 1683 after the defeat of the Turks. The coffee house as we see it date from the late 18th century.

  • Coffee and coffee drinking is an institution in Vienna, so do not just ask for "a cup of coffee"
    .....You have to know your coffee in Vienna!
    for example:
    a melange is a blend of coffee and hot milk
    Schwarzer is a black coffee (large or small)
    Schlagobers is a strong black coffee werved with plain or whipped cream.
