Tourist Trap: Grinzing

  • Grinzing stands as a synony for the many small inns selling "heurigen", the "young" wine, and many tour operators organise trips there. Therefore, what once was a laid-back vineyard village at the outskirts of Vienna, has been commericalised and prizes have rocketed. I´m sure there are still cozy nice places, but you have to know them. There are convenient alternatives in less travelled vineyard villages, easily accesible by public transport.

    Alternative: I can recommend Nussdorf - you can get there by bus or tram, and easily find a "buschenwirtschaft" - a place selling the heurigen. A piece of bush tied at the entrance indicates you found a "heurigen" place. Often these inns have gardens as well, and live traditional music
