Vienna In Your Pocket
FOREWORD
vienna.inyourpocket.com
In December, Vienna undoubtedly looks at its best.
The 'city of dreams' nickname comes to life when the
Christmas decorations are in place and thousands of
lights brighten up the city streets. The city spent over
3 million on Christmas decorations last year, and in
addition to traditional crystal chandeliers on Graben and
large Asian-style red lanterns on Rotenturmstrasse,
new lights sparkled all over town. This year Vienna
promises to be even more beautiful. Wander around
the streets and visit the Christmas markets (p.10),
the largest of them on Rathausplatz with their gifts,
souvenirs, sweets and delicious Glhwein.
In this issue of Vienna In Your Pocket, we're on a mission
to drag you away from the highstreet and to get you
to shop for cool local products. The city's funky 7th
district is a hive of creativity and partying, and on p.50
we've highlighted some special places here. Then, we're
added some content about the Wien Products that
allow you to take Vienna home with you.
Bored husbands and Santaphobes can easily escape
the retail onslaught and head out for some healthy fun in
the snow Vienna is close to two great ski resorts, within
daytrip distance; see p.9 for details. If that's too fast for
you, try the ice skating in front of the Rathaus (p.39).
No matter what you do this winter, hang on to a copy of
Vienna In Your Pocket to be your guide to this wonderful
city. We're always happy to hear from readers, so do
add your own comments about individual venues to our
website reviews, or send your suggestions to vienna@
inyourpocket.com. Enjoy Vienna.
Vienna's magni ficent Schnbrunn Palace is one of
the top sights in town, attracting 2,5 million visitors in
2009. The former imperial summer residence was the
Habsburg's Versailles, and the palace and its enormous
gardens illustrate the taste and aspirations of that era.
The park also hosts the oldest zoo in the world, a great
experience for the whole family. Visit the palace and
gardens, warm up with a coffee in the wonderfully-named
Gloriette belvedere at the top of the gardens, and enjoy
the glorious views over the palace, the park and the city.

Vi enna i s a ci ty of dreams.
A ci t y ful l of l i fe, economi c
vitality, efficient transportation,
numerous modern buildings and
architectural gems. A city that
offers people work and the youth
a wide range of opportunities.
Vienna is also the city of green
parks, calm, dreamy alleys, art
and music. This ci ty attracts
people. Vienna is growing; li fe
can be felt on every corner and
in every street.
Vienna is rightly deemed a city
worth living in, a model of providing medical and social
benefits. Hardly any other city in the world is as closely tied
to both medical tradition and medical advances as Vienna.
As the headquarters of international agencies such
as OPEC, the UN and the International Atomic Energy
Agency, Vienna is also a cosmopolitan city of culture and
gastronomy - just as the Vienna School of Medicine
became an international term, so too has Viennese
cuisine gained an international reputation.
Simply put, Vienna is the perfect mix: street art and the
State Opera are just as much a Viennese pair as the
Heuriger and first class cuisine. Internationally acclaimed
exhibitions in the Albertina or the Museumsquartier are
just as much a part of us as an improvised stage in
the outer districts or the film festival at Rathausplatz,
Europes biggest open air cinema.
The rich spectrum of cultural offerings makes Vienna
a leading cultural metropolis; one often hears the term
international capital of music connected with it. On the
one hand, there are the many composers and musicians
who have lived and worked in Vienna over the past few
centuries. On the other, there are the Viennese music
institutions with their grand tradition, which constantly
keep this reputation fresh and carry it forth into the world.
In the best tradition of the many Viennese markets, I can
only say: have a look around!
Welcome to Vienna!

ARRIVING
By plane
Viennas international airport is located in Schwechat, 18km
southeast of the city centre. After passing customs (for ar-
rivals from outside the Schengen zone) and collecting your
baggage, ATMs, banks and tourist information can be found
in the arrivals hall.
To get to town, theres a choice of rail or road. The City
Airport Train (CAT, +43 1 252 50, www.cityairporttrain.
com) departs every hal f hour between 06:05 and 23:35,
arriving at S-Bahn station Wien Mitte. The ride takes 16
minutes and costs 10 for a single trip (7,50 with the
Vienna Card), 18 for a return trip. Its cheaper to take a
regular S-Bahn train, departing from the airport to Wien
Mitte station approximately every 30 minutes between
04:34 and 00:18; tickets cost 3,60 and the ride takes
about 25 minutes.
Vienna Airport Lines buses (tel. +43 1 700 73 23 00, www.
viennaairportlines.at) depart every 30 minutes between
05:00 to 23:00, stopping off at U-Bahn Schwedenplatz, the
train stations Wien Meidling and Wien Westbahnhof and the
Vienna International Center (VIC), taking about 30 minutes.
A single ride costs 6, a return trip 11, and tickets can be
bought from the driver.
Taking a taxi to the centre takes about 15 minutes. If you just
hop into a waiting taxi outside, the ride will cost about 45,
including the fee for returning to the airport empty; it costs
33 if you mention to the driver or dispatcher that youd like
the set price (Pauschaltariff ).
By train
The new Wien-Hauptbahnhof (central station) is currently
under construction, so in the meantime trains from Prague,
Warsaw, Venice, Rome, Ljubljana, Zagreb and Graz arrive
at Wien-Meidling station, above the Philadelphiabrcke U-
Bahn station. Trains from Salzburg, Munich, Zurich, Berlin,
Frankfurt and Budapest arrive at Wien-Westbahnhof, which
is conveniently built on top of the Westbahnhof U-Bahn
station. Trains from Bratislava and Burgenland arrive at the
temporary Ostbahnterminal near the new central station,
which is reached on tram D from the Ringstrasse. All these
stations have luggage lockers and ATMs, and a tourist
information desk office.
By bus
All international buses arrive at the Vienna International
Busterminal (VIB), which has ATMs and luggage lockers.
Right across the street is the Erdberg U-Bahn station, from
where its a 10 minute ride to the city centre.
By car
Major highways lead from Vienna west to Munich, south
to Venice, east to Budapest and north to Brno. Driving the
350km from Munich will take approximately four hours, the
250km from Budapest are covered in three hours. When
parking in Vienna, pay attention to the short-term parking
zones in the inner districts of the city; using the well-sign-
posted Park & Ride facilities (3 per day) in the outer districts
and taking a tram into town is a good idea.
By ferry
The Danube river is increasingly used for ferry routes to
Hungary, Slovakia and Germany. Ferries arrive at Anlegestelle
Reichsbrcke near U-Bahn station Vorgartenstrasse. Twin
City Liner boats dock at Marienbrcke bridge near the
Schwedenplatz U-Bahn station.

The City Airport Train departs every half hour from the city
center (U-Bahn Landstrasse/S-Bahn Wien Mitte) to Vienna
International Airport. The ride takes 16 minutes and costs
10 for a single trip (7,50 with the Vienna Card) and 18
for a return trip. The City Air Terminal in the city centre
offers travellers the services of an international airport
terminal. Check in your baggage up to 75 minutes before
departure, get your boarding pass and enjoy the rest of
your journey to the airport comfortably and stress-free.
The City Check-In can only be used with a valid CAT ticket.
The building complex above the train station includes
130,000m of offices, shops and catering areas as well
as the CAT terminal, and is currently Viennas largest in-
ner city project development. Construction was started
in 2007 and is projected to be completed in 2012, with
CAT operating normally the entire time.

HISTORY
In Your Pocket broke much new ground in 2010,
publishing new guides in the Netherlands (Den
Bosch), in Austria (Vienna), in Croatia (Brac and Senj),
in Slovenia (Celje), in Serbia (Nis) and in Switzerland
(Zurich). We also took the wraps off Prizren In Your
Pocket, a guide to the second largest city in Kosovo,
produced in cooperation with Cultural Heritage
Without Borders. We also began rolling out iPhone
apps to all our cities.
We will be launching even more In Your Pocket
guides in 2011: to find out which cities we will be
covering, and to keep up to date with all In Your
Pocket news and events, like In Your Pocket on
Facebook (facebook.com/inyourpocket) or follow

Europe In Your Pocket
Starting off as a tiny village along the Wien river, Vienna is
now the 10th largest city in the EU and home to many major
international organizations such as the United Nations
and OPEC.
Antiquity
Founded around 500 BC, Vienna was originally a Celtic
settlement. By 15 BCE, the town had developed into a Roman
frontier city called Vindobona, protecting the Roman Empire
from Germanic tribes.
Medieval times
During the Middle Ages, Vienna became the residence of the
Habsburg dynasty in 1440 and eventually grew to become
the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.
Beleaguered by Ottomans
On their march towards western Europe, the Ottoman
armies were twice stopped at Vienna in the 16th and 17th
centuries. During the 1529 Siege of Vienna, the city was
lucky to escape defeat and was saved by an early winter
and epidemics. A century later, the city's fortifications had
been greatly expanded proved their worth during the 1683
Battle of Vienna, when they helped the city survive for two
months, allowing the army led by Polish King Jan Sobieski to
assemble and defeat the Ottomans for good.
18th century
Baroque was the style of the century and hundreds of
buil di ngs were constructed or remodell ed i n the curl y
Baroque look by architects like Johann Bernhard Fischer
von Erlach and Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt. The local
nobility started constructing palaces in the now safe
countryside immediately outside the city, resulting in several
magnificent summer palaces, such as Palais Liechtenstein
and Schnbrunn.
19th Century
Vienna became the capital of the huge Austrian Empire in
1804, and later of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, playing
an important role in European and world politics. The arts
blossomed, and classical music witnessed golden years.
The rule of Emperor Franz Joseph I transformed the city in
many ways: culture, arts and architecture blossomed, the city
walls were demolished in 1858 to make way for the grand
Ringstrae boulevard lined lined with impressive buildings,
the city expanded to include its suburbs, and the Danube
river which caused several serious floods was canalised
and tamed.
20th century
Industrialisation of and immigration to Vienna lead to a
period of expansion. By 1910, Vienna was the sixth largest
city in the world, with large numbers of Czech and Jewish
residents. The city was a centre of the new Jugendstil style
from 1900, locally represented by Otto Wagner and the
Vienna Secession association.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire fell apart at the end of the First
World War and in 1918 the Republic of Deutsch-sterreich
(German-Austria) was created. Socialism quickly became
popular and "Red Vienna" saw many residential estates built,
but also shelling of locals supporting the socialist militia by
the Austrian Army during the 1934 civil war.
Adolf Hitler himself an Austrian triumphantly marched
into town and spoke from the Hofburg bal cony during
the Anschluss ('joining up') of Austria in 1938. Vienna's
thousands of Jews suffered badly, harassed by both the state
and anti-Semitic citizens, and decimated by the Holocaust.
Vienna was badly damaged in 1944 and 1945 during the
Soviet advance, but largely reconstructed in the 1950s-60s,
with the city centre proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site
in 2001. Post-war Vienna was divided into sectors ruled by
The USA, UK, France and the Soviet Union just like Berlin,
though the city centre was an international zone where
control was handed over to another power every month. The
occupation lasted 10 years, in which time spies from east
and west played their Cold War games.
Austria regained full independence in 1955, and from the
1970s Vienna became the host city of many imporetant
international organisations, including various UN agencies,
OPEC, the International Atomic Energy Agency and OSCE.
The crumbling of the Iron Curtain in 1989 profoundly changed
the city's outlook. Many companies took advantage of the
prime location and nearby Bratislava in Slovakia now forms
an economical unit of 3 million people with Vienna.

BASICS
Crime & Safety
Vienna is a safe city to visit, and there's little to fear except
perhaps for spending too much on food and souvenirs. As
elsewhere, avoid dark alleys at night and clutch your wallet
or purse when using public transport or in busy places.
Disabled travellers
Most hotels, restaurants and sights in Vienna are well-
equipped for people in wheelchairs or otherwise requiring
assistance, and public transport is easy to use with its many
escalators, li fts and low-floor trams. The symbols below
our hotel reviews which hotels are suitable. The city has an
informative site for disabled travellers at www.wien.info/en/
travel-info/accessible-vienna.
Electricity
Austrian electrical current is 220v AC, and the country uses
the standard European round, two-pin sockets.
Money & Costs
Austria uses the euro () with banknotes in denominations
of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500. Coins, whose
design depends on in which country they were minted,
come in denominations of 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10,
0.20, 0.50, 1 and 2. ATMs can be found everywhere in
Vienna and are the best way to get cash. Vienna is not an
overly expensive city by Western European standards and
competition from nearby cheap countries keeps the price
of for instance cigarettes at bay. Viennas status of a social
democratic stronghold means that public services such as
public transport are relatively cheap.
Politics
The current mayor of Vienna is Michael Hupl. Since 1917,
Vienna has been (co-)governed by the Social Democratic Party
with an absolute majority in the city parliament (except from
1934 to 1945 when the party was banned and mayors were
appointed by the Austro-fascist and later by Nazi authorities).
The Social Democrats currently rule in coalition with the Green
Party. Many political experts believe that the rival Austrian
People's Party would completely dominate Austrian politics if it
weren't for the Social Democrats' unbreakable hold on Vienna.
An example of the citys many social democratic policies is
the low-cost Gemeindebauten residential estates which house
about 25% of the Viennese population.
Smoking
Officially all restaurants, cafs and other such venues have
to provide a non-smoking section. While recently many
restaurants turned into smoke-free zones, dont be surprised
how smoky many bars and clubs can get. Most traditional
coffee houses will have a smoking area.
Tipping
If the service merits it, waiters appreciate a tip of about 10%;
at the bar or at the Wrstelstand it's common to round up
the sum a little.
Population
Austria (2009 estimate): 8,356,707
Vienna: 1,705,080
21,1% of people living in Vienna are foreign nationals,
121,000 of them originating from former Yugoslavia,

VIENNA DISTRICTS
Vienna is trul y the most international city in Austria, i f not
in all of Central Europe, hosting the regional headquarters
of many i nternati onal enterpri ses, the UN, OSCE and
OPEC. In the central distri cts you will have no probl em

the 1st being the ci ty centre, N2-9 wrapped around i t
and surrounded by the Grtel hi ghway. Distri cts 10-23
are mainl y resi dential areas. Every distri ct is attracti ve
i n i ts own way and equal l y i mportant, general l y safe
for tourists.
1. City centre
The ci t y centre l i teral l y refers to the ver y hear t of
Vi enna. I n the mi d-19th century Vi ennas ol d ci ty wal l

2. Prater
The ci tys largest park stretches from the Praterstern
metro and train station towards the Ernst Happel sta-
dium. Next to Praterstern is the Wurstelprater amuse-
ment park. Some say i ts better to avoi d this area after
dark. Leopol dstadt in Vi ennas 2nd distri ct used to be
the Jewish part of town. Today the j ewish communi ty is
again growing and you will find kosher bakeri es and a
number of synagogues.
4, 5, 6. Naschmarkt
This is currently Viennas most vibrant area with chic cafes
and people strolling past trendy stores and art galleries.
You would not want to miss out on a visit to Viennas central
Naschmarkt, selling all sorts of food and with amazing
restaurants and cosy cafs where many tourists and locals
enjoy a break. The Freihausviertel south of Naschmarkt in
the 4th district is the upcoming chic shopping mile. The 6th
district, north of Naschmarkt, is known for its many gay bars.
6, 7. Mariahilferstrasse area
Mari ahi l ferstrasse i s known as Central and Eastern
Europes most i mpor tant shoppi ng street. Si nce the

7, 8, 9. Grtel area
Grtel is the name of the highway ring that encircles Viennas
central districts 1-9. In the zone between Westbahnhof
station and the Danube canal, the red-light district has
developed into Viennas hottest nightlife spot with dozens
of clubs and bars, one after the other. Go and find a bar
that fits your taste!

CHRISTMAS IN VIENNA
More than 300 artists are set to participate in Vienna's
New Year Festival. On the night of 31 December the city
centre transforms in the hottest stage of the year, where
a colourful show and great music delights thousands
of visitors from around the globe as they welcome the
New Year together. From waltzes and operettas to rock
and pop, the wide range of music means everyoe has
something to dance to. Last year, some 700,000 people
waltzed together in the heart of the city into the New Year,
and we're sure we can do better this year.

Vienna New Year's Trail
Arts & Crafts in Vienna
Located on the square in front of imposing Karlskirche,
this market is quite di fferent from other Christmas
markets in town. All goods sold here are hand-made
exclusively by local artists and craftsmen and approved
by a committee of quali fied judges. The market also
offers plenty of exciting activities for families, such as
fire shows, live music, poetry reading and others. A
sprinkling of food and drink stands will ensure you wont
miss your cup of Glhwein. But instead of traditional
chocolate-coated fruit or pretzels that dominate other
markets, here youll find amazing oven-baked flatbread
and delicious waffles.

Christmas markets
Like elsewhere in Central Europe, the tradition of Christmas
markets (Weihnachtsmarkt) dates back to a distant past
and recreates this warm nostalgic feeling of the times gone
by. Historians believe that the first Christmas markets
appeared in Vienna as early as in the 13th century, when
Bishop Albrecht I granted the city the right to hold a December
Advent market, then called Krippenmarkt. Since those days,
the tradition of Christmas markets has been maintained
and cherished although the new age of commercialization
has undoubtedly left its traces. Vienna boasts about 20
Christmas markets, starting as early as mid-November and
staying open until December 24. Numerous stalls featuring
a vast array of decorations, toys, glassware, artwork, crystal,
handicraft goods, smiley gingerbread cookies, roasted
chestnuts (Maroni), sausages, honey, candles, and of
course, effervescent mulled wine with spices (Glhwein) and
invigorating fruit Punsch with rum. The markets also offer
exciting holiday entertainment for families with kids; they
can bake their own gingerbread cookies, paint Christmas
decorations or recite poems for Santa. Happy holidays!

CITY OF MUSIC
Vienna has always been synonymous with music for
centuries. Some of the greatest musical figures in history
lived and worked in Vienna: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,
Ludwig van Beethoven, Joseph Haydn, Franz Schubert,
Johann Strauss, Gustav Mahler, Arnold Schnberg,
Alban Berg to name a few of them. Writing to his father
in 1781, Mozart said: Vienna is the best place in the
world for my profession. Because of the importance of
these musicians the tradition is maintained in Vienna by
regular concert events and festivals. Attractive concerts
are held every day of the year. But Vienna is also the
capital of the waltz. The Vienna Philharmonic's New
Year's Concert is the most famous classical concert
in the world. It takes place every year on 1 January at
the Musikverein and always ends with the Blue Danube
waltz by Johann Strauss Junior. Another fixed attraction
in Austrian musical life is the Vienna Boys Choir, one of
the oldest boys' choirs in the world. For nearly five hun-
dred years they have been a symbol of Austria. And, as
ever, every Sunday the Vienna Boys' Choir sing solemn
mass in Vienna's Hofburg chapel, continuing a tradition
unbroken since 1498.

Two of Vienna's musical highlights can be visited on one

Together with In Your Pocket, the citys hotel concierges
are important sources of information for travellers.
Recognised by the golden crossed keys on the lapels
of their jackets, good concierges will be able to give you
restaurant and sightseeing tips, and can book event
tickets for you. In this issue, we speak to Teresa Werginz,
concierge at the Vienna Marriott Hotel.
This make our hotel special... We're right at the heart-
beat of the city! We have an excellent location next to the
lovely Stadtpark and near many historical monuments. In
the hotel you'll immediately feel at home with our warm
and friendly staff who are dedicated to keeping the high
Marriott standards of hospitality.
Guests strange requests... Once I was asked to trace
back the history of a great-grandfather with only his name
and a photo showing a sign of the army barracks he had
served at in the background. My colleagues and I did not
only find out what happened to the young soldier in the
photo, but also managed to find long lost family members
still living in Vienna, who then met with our guest!
Special restaurants I recommend... The Zum Weissen
Rauchfangkehrer is a culinary jewel; with little booths and
soft live piano music it has a very cosy ambience, and the
service is first class, with waiters and the experienced
sommelier giving you detailed information and recom-
mendations. The origin of the name The White Chimney
Sweep is something you'll have to discover yourself!
Special sights I recommend... Vienna is well known
for having produced many modern and classical music
greats, and the Haus der Musik is a fun place for young
and old to spend hours playing with sound.
Meet the concierge
Concierges that are members of the
"Les Clefs d'Or" international concierge
association (Union Internationale des
Concierges d'Hotel) can be recognised
by the crossed gold keys on their lapels.
This means that you are dealing with a
professionally trained concierge who has built up the
skills and contacts to open doors for you throughout
the city and indeed the world. They should have a quick
reply to any question or request you have.

COFFEEHOUSES
Vienna is of those cities where coffee is much more than
just a drink. Many coffee houses in Vienna date back to
the 19th century, when there was little private heating,
and people used the coffee houses as a second living
room, because they could not afford to heat their homes.
Unlike some other caf traditions around the world, it is
completely normal for a customer to linger alone for hours
and study the omnipresent newspapers. Along with coffee,
the waiter will serve an obligatory glass of cold tap water
and during a long stay will often bring additional water
unrequested, with the idea being that you are a guest
who should feel welcome and not pressured to leave for
another patron. Many cafs provide small food dishes
like sausages as well as desserts, cakes and tarts, like
Apfelstrudel and Linzer torte. In many classic cafs piano
music is played in the evenings and social events like liter-
ary readings are held.
Caf Central A-2, Herrengasse 17, MHerrengasse,
tel. +43 1 533 37 64 26, www.palaisevents.at. Originally
opened in 1860, Caf Central boasts a number of famous

the caf and the imperial grandeur of Austria. Caf Central
is perfectly situated behind the Hofburg, making it an ideal
place to stop for a delicious piece of Apfelstrudel and rich
hot chocolate after youve spent hours wandering through
the nearby twin museums and the Imperial Palace. Reserva-

RESTAURANTS
Viennas cosmopolitan character is reflected by a great
range of fine international restaurants. No matter if you
are looking for an exclusive restaurant in the first district
or you want to stop by at one of the authentic Asian eater-
ies - Vienna offers something for every taste. And the good
news: compared to other European cities typical tourist
traps are relatively rare.
Austrian
Viennese cuisine stands out for its superb cakes and pas-
tries, but a wide range of other unique dishes, like Wiener
Schnitzel and Tafelspitz are also steeped in local history.
The cooking tradition here has been inspired by many
cultures throughout the centuries. During the 17th and
18th centuries, Italian and French cuisine made their way
into the Viennese palate, followed by strong Bohemian and
Hungarian influences in the 19th century, creating a local
cuisine both unique and delicious.
Augustinerkeller B-2, Augustinerplatz 1, MKarl-
splatz, tel. +43 1 533 10 26. The Augustinerkeller is one
of the last cloistral cellars in Viennas first district, and was
formerly part of the citys defensive fortifications. Now it is

typical Austrian food in a Heuriger atmosphere with modern
flair. Enjoy the tantalizing dishes with a glass of wine or beer
and listen to the live Heuriger music that is the catalyst for
hours of fun. Be prepared to meet some interesting char-
acters, as was the case when Haydn used to play his fiddle
here for the soldiers on breaks from guarding the old city
wall. QOpen 11:00 - 24:00. A

at. The history of Viennas most famous schnitzel began
in 1905, when Johannes Figlmller founded a small tavern
behind St. Stephans Cathedral dedicated to the Viennese
way of life. Right from the start, their schnitzel was what
it still is today: a bit bigger, a bit thinner and a bit crisper
than the others, and served with the classic potato salad
side-dish. Figlmller is still a lovingly-run family business.
The original restaurant on Wollzeile could not always cope

Many tourists and expats, especially those coming
from the countries where it is assumed that customer
is king, are often perplexed by the oddities of service in
Vienna. Indeed, the attitudes may range from extremely
polite and friendly, to professional but non-committal, to
outright arrogant and disrespectful. Some waiters and
salespeople tend to think that treating their customers
in a less than decent and courteous manner makes their
daily sport and boosts their ego. Locals claim that it has
always been like this and justify it with cultural differences
and low salaries and tips for the waiters. While this might
well be the case, it is also true that its your money youre
spending, and you absolutely deserve to be treated nicely
for your money! Here are some tips for visitors who have
experienced first-hand what the Viennese service with
a smile sometimes really means. If you believe youve
been pointedly ignored or spoken to in a rude tone, never
hesitate to let them know loud and clear that you are
unhappy with the service. Even if it changes nothing, youll
be sure to make a statement. Remember also that the
more often they see you, the better service you are likely
to get. The Viennese revere their Stammkunden (repeat
customers), and even reserve tables for them without
being certain they would show up at all. In virtually every
popular restaurant or coffee house you will stumble upon
several tables with Reserviert signs and sometimes
most tables have this sign even though the place looks
empty. Then its entirely your right to demand that a
table be made available for you. Most venues listed here
will, unless otherwise indicated, offer good professional
customer service, but if you experience anything differ-
ent, wed like to hear from you. Write to us at vienna@

Tucked away in a side street off Graben, this cosy family
establishment is a great reminder that Vienna was once
the capital of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Maria Fodor, the
owner since 1987, takes pride in serving the best gulyas
this side of the border, and many claim its better than in
Budapest. Chicken paprikas is also delicious. Be sure to
leave some space for heavenly somli galuska, a layered
chocolate and vanilla sponge cake with raisins, walnuts
and rum. Sadly, this place remains smoky because it is too
small to comply with new non-smoking regulations. QOpen

modern design: it looks more like a fine dining establish-

searching for the best falafel. Time and again, the answer
is clear. By far, Maschu Maschu has the best falafel in town.
However, even better than the falafel is the pita mix, a
combination of falafel and kebab, served in sandwich form.
The assortment of sauces is also stellar. Seating is limited,

HEURIGEN & WINE BARS
2 % of Viennas land is used to grow wine. What makes
this exceptional is that Vienna is the only European
capital city that is producing its own wine. You can try
many of these wines at Heurigen restaurants, which
are seasonal places that offer fresh wine mostly from
their own fields. Traditionally these places would only
offer cold cuts with the wine, but today most Heurigen
restaurants also serve warm food. The best known
Heurigen taverns are located in Grinzing, a village in the
hills located on the north side of the city.
The Viennese soil along with the unique location and
climate provide the optimal conditions for traditional
winegrowing. In the historical vineyards around Vienna,
wild wine was already growing in primeval times though
it could even be proven that cultivated wine was grown
there as well. On-site findings show Vienna has been
growing wine already in 750 b.c.
There are about 720 hectares of vineyards within the
citys borders, which make Vienna the capital of wine.
The vineyards are shaping the landscape while many
people use the region for recreation.

in accordance with one of Loos driving principles: cosiness.
A tiny space, made to look larger than it is by the mirrors

its original charm, while inside the modern dcor is the

The power of music
Behind the faade of Viennas imperial opulence, you might
wonder if there is any space left for simple down-to-earth
family fun in this city. Thankfully, Viennas once notorious
coldness to children is now definitely a thing of the past, and
opportunities abound for year-round outdoor entertainment,
festivals, concerts, street fairs, as well as museums, theatres
and other creative activities where both kids and their
parents can feel comfortable and welcome. You can explore
the fascinating blend of gadgets and robots at the Technical
Museum (Technisches Museum Wien), challenge your kids
imagination at the interactive scientific exhibit of the Zoom
Childrens Museum (Zoom Kindermuseum), visit the worlds
oldest zoo in Schnbrunn, or splurge into winter wonderland

WHAT TO SEE
The first district, surrounded by the majestic imperial build-
ings along the Ringstrasse, is Viennas historical centre.
Many of the important sights, such as the impressive St.
Stephens Cathedral, the gigantic Hofburg, Viennas town
hall, and many of the main museums are located here, all
within walking distance. But a lot of essential Vienna lies
beyond it. Outlying sights, such as Schlo Schnbrunn, or
the funfair and parks of the Prater are musts for every visi-
tor. Using public transport to get to these places is easy.
Main sights
Belvedere C-4, Prinz-Eugen-Str. 27, tel. +43 1 79 55
70, www.belvedere.at. Named for the Italian phrase for
beautiful view, the Belvedere palace complex was originally
conceived as a summer country estate for Prince Eugene
of Savoy, one of the most celebrated military heroes in
European history. His impressive collection of artwork is dis-
played here, along with more recent additions from the royal
Habsburg holdings. The Upper Belvederes major attraction is
undoubtedly Gustav Klimts famous painting The Kiss, which
can also be seen on countless scarves, mugs, posters and
other trinkets sold by surrounding shops and street vendors.
While most visitors skip the Lower Belvedere, its collection
of curiously troubling Messerschmidt heads make the extra
few euros for a combination ticket well worthwhile. To get
here, take tram D to the Schloss Belvedere stop. QOpen
10:00 - 18:00, Wed 10:00 - 21:00. Admission 3.50-13.50.
Guides/audioguides 4/3.
Hofburg A-2, Heldenplatz, MVolkstheater, tel. +43
1 587 36 66, www.hofburg.wien.info. Home to the
Habsburg monarchy for more than six centuries, the ten
major buildings comprising the Hofburg complex represent
the splendour and influence of what was once the mightiest
empire in Europe. While this has been the site of countless
decisive historical events, the sweeping arcaded faade of
the Neue Burg earned worldwide notoriety in April of 1938,
when Adolf Hitler spoke to a crowd of 200,000 people from
its central balcony. Nearly every Austrian monarch has left
his (or her) fingerprint on the layout of this palace, resulting
in a stylistic mishmash and a wide array of museums. Maps
in several languages are posted in the courtyards throughout
the complex, but here are the highlights: the Schatzkammer
(Imperial Treasury) houses the crown jewels, as well as the
nail supposed to have pierced Christs right hand and the
so-called Spear of Destiny. If youre into impressive baroque
interiors, the reading room of the Nationalbibliothek (National
Library) is a highlight. For those with a fascination for sordid
dynastic family histories, a ticket to the Kaiserappartements
(Emperors Apartments) includes the Silberkammer (Silver
Vault) and Sisimuseum (Sisi Museum), lending an intimate
insight into the private lives of Emperor Franz Joseph and
his wife, Elizabeth of Bavaria (better known locally as Sisi).
The dancing white Lippizaner horses of the Spanische Hofre-
itschule (Spanish Riding School) perform here, as well as the
boy sopranos and altos of the Wiener Sngerknaben (Vienna
Boys Choir). But even if you dont have time for a museum
trip, a stroll through the Hofburg complex is a definite must.
QOpen 09:00 - 18:00. Admission packages 2,50-22,50.

WHAT TO SEE
Riesenrad I-1, Riesenradplatz 1, MPraterstern, tel.
+43 1 729 54 30, info@wienerriesenrad.com, www.
wienerriesenrad.com. The most recognizable attraction
of the Wurstelprater is undoubtedly the iconic Riesenrad,
or Ferris wheel at the parks entrance. Erected in 1897 to
celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Emperor Franz Joseph, it
ranks among the worlds oldest and largest Ferris wheels,
reaching a height of 64.75 meters. The Riesenrad gained
international fame through the 1949 classic film, The Third
Man when one of the cabins was the scene of a pivotal argu-
ment between Orson Welles and Joseph Cotton. A visit to

giant and the breathtaking views from the top. QOpen 10:00

47, MSchnbrunn, tel. +43 1 811 132 39, www.

era, from its topiary maze and minutely manicured gardens
to the ornately detailed interiors. Several tour packages

treaties, legendary performances, and a veritable whos who
of European history. A visit to Schnbrunn isnt complete
without a walk around the park grounds. The Tiergarten is
the oldest continuously running zoo in the world, and while
modest in scale, it boasts a comprehensive feeding schedule

Schnbrunn Palace
The history of folding as an art goes back to antiquity,
and indeed all cultures developed their own folding
traditions that interacted with each other. In Europe, the
materials were parchment, paper and cloth. The folded
serviette was an expression of prosperity at all the royal
courts in Western
Europe as well as on the tables of the upper middle
classes. A particularly impressive mani festation was
to be found in the snakes, fishes, birds and miniature
works of architecture such as palaces and bubbling
table fountains. 40 folded linen display dishes (table
ornaments) and 150 folded linen napkins from a wide
variety of folding traditions are on display in the 'Folded
beauty' exhibition at the Imperial Furniture Collection, and
the technical and pedagogic relationship between paper
and serviette folding is also demonstrated. Anyone who
has seen an attempt to fold a serviette nicely result in a
sagging rag will be happy to try various folding techniques
themselves, or even follow a folding workshops for both
adults and children.

Driving & Parking
Parking in central Vienna is expensive; the 20 public garages
in the centre charge up to 5 per hour. Street parking tickets
(0,60 per 30 minutes) can be purchased from news agents
(Trafiken), the offices of Wiener Linien, many petrol stations,
major train stations and by SMS on the A1 mobile network.
Day visitors to Vienna are better off using a Park & Ride
facility in the outskirts (3 per day) and taking the tram or
U-Bahn to the city centre.
I f you plan to dri ve on Austrias hi ghways (all A and S
roads) youll need a vignette sticker on your windscreen
costing 7.90 for 10 days, which can be purchased at
petrol stations.
Public transport
Viennas extensive public transportation system, run by
Wiener Linien (Vienna Transport Authority), is an easy
and inexpensive way to get around town. The U- Bahn
(metro) runs daily from 05:00 to 00:30, and non-stop on
Fridays and Saturdays and before public holidays. Subur-
ban S-Bahn trains radiate outwards from the city to the
surrounding districts and towns. Trams are the best way
to get around the inner city sights, running every 5-15
minutes between 05:00 and 00:30. Buses mostly serve
Viennas suburbs and most visitors wont need them though
the handy night buses replace the U-Bahn from 00:45 to
05:00 on weekdays.
Tickets cost 1,80 for a single ride, though its well worth
getting a day ti cket i f youre planning on using publi c
transport more than a few times. A 24-hour ticket costs
5,70, a 48-hour ticket 10 and a 72-hour ticket 13,60;
a two-stop ti cket (Kurzstrecke) costs 0,90. Ti ckets
must be validated before getting on board. Tickets can
be purchased from multilingual machines at every U-Bahn
station and on buses and trams, though single tickets
bought on board cost 2,20 and only coins are accepted.
You can also visit the ticket sales offices of Wiener Linien
at the Stephansplatz, Karlsplatz, Westbahnhof and Wien
Mitte U-Bahn stations. The 72 hour ticket can also be
purchased at the Tourist Information Office. Children up to
six years old always travel free; children up to 15 ride free
on Sundays, holidays and during Viennas school holidays
(photo ID required). The Vienna Card costs 18,50 and
offers 72 hours of travel on public transport plus more than
200 discounts to museums, concerts, cafs, and more. It
can be bought at the Tourist Information Offices or from
the Wiener Linien offices.

NEUBAU - THE 7
TH
DISTRICT
Arnold's
Neubau shopping
Of all of Viennas districts, the
7th is probably the hottest spot
for the young, fun-loving and
creative bunch. It encompass-
es the vast Museumsquartier,
the traditional Volkstheater, the
quaint Biedermeier houses and
romantic lanes of Spittelberg,
the trendy restaurants and
clubs of Siebensterngasse as
well as alternative boutiques
of Kirchengasse and specialty
stores along Neubaugasse.
Innovativeness and environmental consciousness co-
exist here with traditional Viennese charm. Since 2001,
Neubau has been the only district in Vienna, and perhaps
in all of Austria, dominated by the Green Party. The local
politicians promote responsible family-friendly policies
that attract a hip, youthful and internationally-oriented
community to this fancy part of town. Explore Neubau on
a Saturday afternoon and youll be surrounded by a lively
crowd of students, urban artists, fashion aficionados, and
young families with kids.
If there was only one word to describe the shopping here,
it would be individual. The Mariahilferstrasse that borders
this district features all the Zaras and H&Ms of the world,
but enter the district and there's not a major brand or
chain store in sight. Instead, the trendsetters who run
local businesses in Neubau believe that the things you use
or wear in your daily life should be just like yourself - per-
sonal. Fashion here means a perfect symbiosis of art and
living. Numerous art studios, stylish boutiques, organic
food stores, modern cafs and bars create a special,
almost bohemian-like atmosphere. This special section
features some of these 7th district stores with personality.

At First Sight
District Chairman of Wien Neubau, Mr. Thomas
Blimlinger:
I was born and raised in the 7th district. I work and live
here, so much that my friends often think that a trip to a
neighbouring district is a long journey for me. The fact is that
I'm happy in the 7th. I went to school here, got to know my
wife in the 7th, and ran a store here for 20 years. In 2001 I
was elected as the first Green mayor of Vienna, and Austria.
The 7th district is a special place because of the people.
I know many of the residents personally, and living here
is like living in a village, where people are less hectic
and often know each other. At the same time the 7th is
a very urban, very hip area, probably the hippest district
in Vienna. Currently many people move here because
of this very special atmosphere, so foreign visitors are
welcome to come visit us in the 7th to see what it's like!

unique? Want to emphasize your personality through your
individual scent? Dont hesitate and visit Yogesh individual
perfumes. Yogesh has worked on individual fragrances for 21
years and his concept of a message in a bottle has brought
him wide recognition as a specialist in individual aromas that
fit your personality and character. Each perfume is unique;
perfumes are not only scents, they are an expression of
personality, well-being and character. This is Yogesh' secret.
Selected natural Ayurveda essences are used as base notes
for the compositions. But how does a Yogesh scent work? It
penetrates the skin and mixes with the body moisture of the
carrier. It forms a new essence, which evaporates much slower
than a conventional perfume and surrounds them with their
own personal fragrance. Bring a scarf or another favorite piece
of clothing to the shop and Yogesh will detect your personal
fragrance type on the basis of its smell and in the course of
a personal interview. After a week your own personal scent
by Yogesh will surround you! For information on scents and

Lucie, a native New Yorker and fashion stylist who come
to Vienna after falling in love with an Austrian, conducts
personalised shopping tours. Vienna In Your Pocket had
a chat with her.
How did you start the shopping tours? When I settled
in Vienna and realised there was no fashion industry, I
came up with the idea to help locals and visitors explore
all the great little shops in the city previously there were
no shopping tours in Vienna at all. So now I offer groups
of 5-9 people the chance to come along for a fun and
relaxing afternoon of shopping. And as I'm a regular, I've
been able to arrange discounts at every shop we visit.
What is special about shopping in Vienna? It's hard
to pinpoint what I like most. There are many special
boutiques and fantastic designers creating unique things,
from jelly to jewellery, but I think what I like best is that
you can wander through the beautiful back streets, away
from the crowds, and discover a living world of art and the
people who make it. It's the atmosphere and the creativity
I'm drawn to most. And you can bring a piece of it home.
What areas do you recommend? The Neubau district
is quite well known now for its young local designers. One
can start along the Neubaugasse and branch out. It's just
exploded with new shops over the past five years. The Mar-
gareten and Wieden districts are also interesting, and the
Inner City is full of treasures if you know where to look. I'm
designing new tours inspired by what each district has to offer.
What's nice to take home from Vienna? You can
find handmade silk-screened prints on fair-trade cot-
ton shirts, handmade multi-functional leather bags,
very special handmade custom jewellery, unique day
to evening wear, and unique fine foods and wines. And
of course the memories you take home from exploring
Vienna are priceless.
Lucie's three-hour shopping tours can be booked at
www.shoppingwithlucie.com or tel. +43 68 02 14

When it comes to shopping, the Vienna scene really runs
the gamut from large fashion chains to small boutiques,
from designer labels to offbeat artisans. The sheer variety
of retailers merits an extended shopping tour, but for
those with something more specific in mind, weve got a
few recommendations on where to start.
Shopping areas
Freihausviertel G-3, MKettenbrckengasse. Adja-
cent to the Naschmarkt, this small pocket of storefronts,
galleries and eateries is quickly becoming one of the citys
trendiest shopping areas. Devoted specialists offer a range
of unique novelties, from Austrian champagne to recycled art.
Krtnerstrasse and the Graben B-2, MStephans-
platz. These two wide pedestrian streets, flanked by elegant
facades and joined at the strikingly modern Haas House
opposite from Stephansdom, form the commercial arter-
ies of Viennas first district. This is the citys most exclusive
shopping area, where designer label devotees go as much
to see as to be seen.
Mariahilferstrasse F-2, F3, F4, MZieglergasse. The
long street running between Viennas sixth and seventh
districts is home to major international chains offering cloth-
ing, music, house wares, and practically everything else.
Tucked into the side streets youll find smaller boutiques
and unique local labels, especially in the narrow cobbled
streets of the Spittelberg, just up Stiftgasse, behind the
Museum Quarter.
Naschmarkt G-3, G-4. Derived from the German verb
naschen, meaning to nibble, Viennas largest open-air
market truly earns its moniker. The colourful fruit and veg-
etable stalls are interspersed with gourmet cheese, meat and
ethnic food vendors, all offering up samples of their products
to passers-by. If youre looking for a shopping experience for
all five senses, this one is a must. At the markets southwest
end, Austrias largest Flohmarkt (Flea Market) sets up shops
every Saturday morning, offering second-hand clothing, an
array of unusual items, and antique treasures for expert
bargain hunters who show up early.
Shopping centres
Donauzentrum Wagramerstrasse 81, MKagran, tel.
+43 1 203 47 22 110, www.donauzentrum.at. Austrians
never really warmed up to the idea of buying all they need
under one roof, but if for any reason you long for an American-
style mall featuring about 260 stores and a large food court,
complete with disorderly crowds and loitering teenagers, then
you might give Donauzentrum a try. QOpen 09:00 - 20:00,
Sat 09:00 - 18:00. Closed Sun.
Ringstrassen Galerien B- 3, Krntner Ring 5-7,
MKarlsplatz, www.ringstrassen-galerien.at. Some
60 fancy stores and boutiques, a large supermarket and
eight restaurants can be found in this elegant medium-sized
Citizens from outside the EU (and EU citizens resident
elsewhere) can save money by claiming a VAT refund
for the purchases while in Vienna. The Global Blue tax
refund service is easy to use. When buying an item at
a shop, ask for a tax refund cheque. At the airport or
border show this together with the item in question at
the customs desk to get the cheque stamped, and then
proceed to the Global Blue Customer desk with your
passport for the cash or credit card refund. You'll get the
VAT on these items refunded, minus a commission. For

Augarten porcelain
Wiener Porzellanmanufaktur Augarten,
the second oldest porcelain manufactory in
Europe, was founded in 1718. Te white
gold from Vienna has been lovingly
moulded and shaped, glazed and painted by
hand ever since; every single item of nest
Augarten porcelain is just as unique now
as it was then. Design and artistic value
reect collaboration with generations of
well-known artists. Augarten upholds this
tradition, working closely with some of the
most respected designers of our day.
Augarten porcelain is world-famous for its
delicate and graceful shape, its clean lines and
exquisite details. Combining sophisticated
craftsmanship, artistic design and the latest
technical equipment, Augarten uniquely
blends time-honoured tradition with a
contemporary approach to art. Te nest
porcelain is still produced and painted by hand
in our manufactory at Augarten castle just as it
has always been. Located at the geographical
crossroads of European cultures and as one
of the oldest European names in porcelain,
Augarten Wien has symbolised the continuity
of timeless Viennese tradition, art and culture
for almost 300 years now.
Pinocchio
Pinocchio has a long nose.
He is curious and likes to run
away. He is an adventurer. If
he falls down he immediately
gets up. He is a tumbler. He
is denitely cheeky: if he gets nudged he nudges as
well. But he is always cheerful, unpretentious and
likeable: Pinocchio with the long nose. His daddy
is Philipp Bruni, not Gepetto, and he is a designer.
Pinocchio is not carved of wood but of porcelain -
the most precious, handmade Viennese porcelain
from Augarten. Tis is Pinocchio the tumbler vase.
Light and porcelain
Te history of ceramics go back thousands of years. Trough time and
dierent cultures its development has been inuenced in many ways,
resulting in the many forms of ceramics we know today. Development has
been determined by the purpose and the way we use ceramics and today
ceramics have eectively disappeared from sight, everyday products which
we take for granted. Cups, plates and bathtubs
are things we use without a second thought. How
could they become invisible and how can we get
them out of the background again? By showing
the components are important to us, the ones we
like, the ones which change our mood. Designer
Katharina Ilie about light: My project (from
2009) is about a light object made from the
special Augarten porcelain. A clear form, decent
porcelain and light express my thoughts.

Wien Products
Nowadays, it's easy to arrive in a foreign city, explore the
streets and museums for a day, and end up shopping at
mainly familiar international chain stores, or shops selling
generic products that could have been made anywhere.
In a new initiative, the local chamber of commerce has
designed a brand for products that are typically Vienna,
quality items made by local companies that make great
souvenirs of gi fts. Vienna In Your Pocket is all about going
local, so we're happy to present a few of these products
and shops here.
