Foreword
Vienna is more enticing that ever in her green summer
robes, when the parks are full of life and the restaurants
full of diners discovering there's more to Austrian cuisine
than schnitzel. There's a ton of fun to be had this summer
check our events pages for concerts and summer
festivals, or head into a museum on a rainy day. There's a
great exhibition about hats at the Wien Museum, or what
about the Bton concrete architecture exhibition at the
Kunsthalle Wien?

COVER STORY
Take some time to relax in Vienna's
largest inner-city park this summer.
The 1950s-style Pavillon caf in the
lovely Volksgarten is a great spot
for coffee and cake - or for beer and
cocktails in the evening, when DJs
take over the decks. See p.27 for more
details.

History
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.
HABSBURGS
AND OTTOMANS
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. 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 citys fortifications
had been greatly expanded and 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 local nobility
started constructing palaces in the countryside immediately
outside the city, resulting in several magnificent summer
palaces.
19
TH
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; the city walls were
demolished to make way for the Ringstrae boulevard
lined lined with impressive buildings, the city expanded
to include, and the Danube river which caused 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. The Austro-Hungarian Empire fell apart at the
end of the First World War and in 1918 the Republic of
Deutsch-sterreich was created. Socialism quickly became
popular and Red Vienna saw many residential estates
FROM THE MAYOR

Vienna is a city of dreams.
A city full of life, economic 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 city Stadt Wien/PID,
attracts people. Vienna is grow- Photo: Hubert Dimko
ing; life 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.
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. The rich spectrum of cultural offerings
makes Vienna a leading cultural metropolis; one often
hears the term international capital of music connected with it. The Viennese music institutions with their
grand tradition 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!

militia by the Austrian Army during the 1934 civil war.
Adolf Hitler himself an Austrian triumphantly
marched into town and spoke from the Hofburg balcony
during the Anschluss (joining) of Austria in 1938.
Viennas 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. 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
important 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 citys outlook, and theres
good cooperation with nearby Bratislava in Slovakia
now.

DRIVING & PARKING

Parking in central Vienna is expensive; the 20 public
garages in the centre charge up to 5 per hour. Street
parking tickets (1 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.
If you plan to drive on Austrias highways (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.
most visitors wont need them though the handy night

buses replace the U-Bahn from 00:45 to 05:00 on weekdays.
Tickets cost 2,20 for a single ride, though its well worth
getting a day ticket if youre planning on using public
transport more than a few times. A 24-hour ticket costs
7,60, a 48-hour ticket 13,30 and a 72-hour ticket 16,50.
Tickets 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 21,90 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

(2,50 extra) or taken from a taxi station in the city centre
(1,25 extra). At night its best to call for a cab. When
taking a taxi to the airport, ask for the Pauschaltariff rate
of 33 to avoid paying 12 on top of the metre fare for
the return trip.

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. Suburban 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
TRAINS
The new Wien Hauptbahnhof (central station) opened
in December 2014 and is now almost operating at full
capacity; trains from a handful of destinations still terminate
at other stations until all tracks are connected by summer
2015. Check your timetable carefully to check where to
embark. Among many new connections are the ICE high
speed trains from Linz via Viennas new Hauptbahnhof
station to Vienna airport, every two hours or so; these
can also be used to get to and from the airport in under
20 minutes. Train tickets can be bought at all stations, but
are best booked in advance on the bilingual BB website,
where significant reductions are available if you book well
in advance.

Vienna Districts
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.
Vienna is truly the most international city in Austria, if not

in all of Central Europe, hosting the regional headquarters
of many international enterprises, the UN, OSCE and
OPEC. In the central districts you will have no problem
communicating in English. Vienna has 23 districts, with
the 1st being the city centre, N2-9 wrapped around it
and surrounded by the Grtel highway. Districts 10-23 are
mainly residential areas. Every district is attractive in its own
way and equally important, generally safe for tourists.
1. CITY CENTRE
The city centre literally refers to the very heart of Vienna. In the
mid-19th century Viennas old city wall was replaced by the
boulevard which in conjunction with the Franz-Josefs-Kai now
forms a ring around the city centre. Magnificent buildings such
as the state opera house, the Hofburg, the parliament building,
the Vienna city hall, the Burgtheater, the university, the Vienna
stock exchange and numerous prestigious buildings line this
splendid boulevard. Most 5-star hotels as well as major sights
are located here. Tourists will spend most of their time in this
area, with everything more or less within walking distance.
While Krnterstrasse and Graben are the two major shopping
streets in the city centre, Stephansplatz with St. Stephens
cathedral is the very centre of Vienna.
2. PRATER
The citys largest park stretches from the Praterstern metro
and train station towards the Ernst Happel stadium. Next
to Praterstern is the Wurstelprater amusement park. Some
say its better to avoid this area after dark. Leopoldstadt in
Viennas 2nd district used to be the Jewish part of town.
Today the jewish community is again growing and you will
find kosher bakeries and a number of synagogues.
3. BELVEDERE
& HUNDERTWASSERHAUS
The third district is one of Viennas most desirable addresses.
Several buildings designed by Viennas most unusual architect
Friedenreich Hundertwasser, as well as Belvedere Palace, the
luxurious residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy, are all located
here. In addition, the district houses numerous embassies and
foreign missions, hence its name the Embassy Quarter.
6, 7. MARIAHILFERSTRASSE
AREA
Mariahilferstrasse is known as Central and Eastern Europes
most important shopping street. Since the fall of the Iron
Curtain, hundreds of buses bring shoppers from Hungary,
Czech Republic and Slovakia to Viennas top shopping
street to get their Christmas presents. A lot of interesting
stores, nice restaurants and relaxed bars are found strolling
around the side streets.
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!

BASIC DATA
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,
41,000 Turks and 28,000 Germans.
Area: Austria: 83,872 km2; Vienna: 414,90 km2
Official languages: German. Slovene, Croatian and
Hungarian are officially recognised.
Local time: Central European (GMT+1hr)
Longest river: Danube (357,5 km in Austria)
Highest mountain: Austria: Groglockner 3,798m
Vienna: Hermannskogel 542m
Borders: Austria borders Germany and the Czech
Republic to the north, Slovakia and Hungary to the
east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland
and Liechtenstein to the west.
Religion: Roman Catholic 49,2%; no religion 25,6%;
Muslim 7,8%; Orthodox 6%; Protestant (mostly
Lutheran) 4,7%; Jewish 0,5%.
CRIME & SAFETY

Vienna is a safe city to visit, and theres 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 wellequipped for people in wheelchairs or otherwise requiring
assistance, and public transport is easy to use with its many
escalators, lifts 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 Peoples Party would
completely dominate Austrian politics if it werent 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 its common to round
up the sum a little.

The Prater
Martin Hesz
for Vienna, the prime place for culture and entertainment.

In 2016 will be the 250th anniversary year of the Prater, and
promises to be a good party.
In the large green Prater park just east of the city

centre, the so-called Wurstelprater is a large amusement
park thats open all year round. Built in a former imperial
hunting area, today it features various rides, bumper cars,
carousels, roller coasters and more. More than 250 different
attractions in fact, as well as a wide selection of bars, beer
gardens and eateries. Entrance is free, but each attraction
has its own fixed price; pay in cash.
WIENER PRATER
Qwww.prateraktiv.at, facebook.com/wienprater
250 years ago the Prater started off as the private hunting
grounds of Emperor Joseph II. Immediately after he
donated the area to the city of Vienna in 1766, it was used
for recreational purposes, becoming one of Europe's oldest
entertainment parks. Inns, bars, restaurants, theatres, swings,
merry-go-rounds, bowling alleys and other attractions were
quickly built and soon enough the crowds from across Vienna
flocked to the area in search for fun and relaxation away from
their cramped apartments and dreary factory jobs. Over the
years the Prater grew and became ever more sophisticated,
adding bigger and better attractions, impressive architecture,
and an advanced infrastructure, including connections to
the tram and metro systems. The Prater became a symbol
The Prater's main season starts shortly before spring, on

15 March, and lasts until 31 October. This is the best time
to enjoy the outdoors, check out the new attractions that
are added every year, and visit the "Schanigrten", outdoor
restaurants. But the park is open year-round, and in
winter there's an increasing number of indoor attractions,
restaurants and bars.
Special seasonal events at the Prater include Easter and the
Maifest in spring, the Science Fiction Day, Praterrummel in
summer, the Wiener Wiesn-Fest and Halloween in autumn
and the Winter Market and New Year's Eve in winter. Twice
a year, in spring and autumn, there's also a popular flea
market for children.

ATTRACTIONS
THE RIESENRAD
All visitors should try out the landmark Riesenrad Ferris

wheel of course, but theres much more at the Prater.
The most recognizable attraction of the Prater is

undoubtedly the iconic Riesenrad Ferris wheel.
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 65 meters. It gained international fame through
the classic 1949 classic film The Third Man when one
of the cabins was the scene of a pivotal argument
between Orson Welles and Joseph Cotton. A visit to
Vienna can hardly be complete without a ride on this
historic giant, taking in the breathtaking views from
the top.
Joe Gridl
Ride the wild waters of the Aqua Gaudi attraction in a

hollowedout tree trunk. Five minutes long, you're looped
around an ancient Maya city with three fast shutes, an
aquaduct over the railway line and over the infamous
camel humps.
The rocking Tagada ride has been popular for years,
especially among teenagers who love to meet up in the
disco carousel. Let it shake, bounce and spin you around
to great 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 Philharmonics New Years 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 hundred years they have been a symbol of Austria.
And, as ever, every Sunday the Vienna Boys Choir sing
solemn mass in Viennas Hofburg chapel, continuing a
tradition unbroken since 1498.

Viennese cuisine stands out for its superb cakes and
pastries, 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

way into the Viennese palate, followed by strong Bohemian
and Hungarian influences in the 19th century, creating a
local cuisine both unique and delicious.

Coffeehouses
Vienna is one 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. 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 literary readings are held.
VIENNESE COFFEEHOUSES
CAF CENTRAL
Originally opened in 1860, Caf Central boasts a number
of famous regulars over the years, including Leo Trotsky,
Adolf Loos, Vladimir Lenin and Sigmund Freud. The caf,
restored in 1986, is reminiscent of both the intellectuals who
frequented 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.

sweet treats that people come here for.QB2, Wollzeile 10,

COFFEE MENU DECODER

If you order just a coffee in Vienna, dont be surprised
when the waiter continues to stare at you... hes
waiting for you to be more specific than that. Below
a selection of the most popular variations of coffee
served. Most prominent are the Melange or a large and
small Brauner. Most cafes will also serve you popular
international choices such as cappucino or caf latte.

for getting its brown colour
Espresso Large or small black coffee from the Espressomachine

Caf Figaro is further distinguished from other cafs for its
dedication to using recipes from Mozarts time, making this

Heurigen & Wine Bars

WIENER HEURIGEN
About 2% of Viennas surface is used for vineyards and

you can try many of these wines at Heurigen. The word
refers to new wine (heuer meaning this year), and by
definition a Heurigen is attached to the vineyard which
produces the very wine it serves. Traditionally these
places would only offer cold cuts to go with the drinks,
but today most Heurigen also serve hot food. The best
known taverns are located in Grinzing, a suburban
village in the hills north of Vienna. The good soil
along with the location and climate provide optimal
conditions for vineyards plus many thirsty clients can
be found nearby too. Note that beer and coffee are not
usually served at a Heurigen, its all about the wine.
To get to Grinzing, take bus N38A from the
Heiligenstadt or tram N37 from the Schottentor
U-Bahn station.
AUGUSTINERKELLER
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 a restaurant loved by natives and
tourists alike and serving 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 characters, as was the case when
Haydn used to play his fiddle here for the soldiers on breaks
from guarding the old city wall.QB-2, Augustinerplatz 1,

Designed by famous architect Adolf Loos in 1908, this bars

PASSAGE
Passage is definitely more on the upscale side of things:
if you arent dressed well, dont even think about going
downstairs to mingle with the crowd. The DJs are world
class and youll sweat on the dance floor to their funky
house beats, but the ceilings are low by Vienna standards,
and tend to make you feel a bit closed in. Still, if you want
to enjoy Viennas high society, book it to Passage.QA3,

GAY VIENNA
Calling Vienna the San Francisco of Central Europe
would be somewhat of an exaggeration. Neither would
a comparison to Amsterdam, Barcelona or Berlin hold
up, for that matter. Yet, although gay life in Vienna is
quite low-key, things do happen, and for the most part,
a live and let live attitude seems to prevail among the
locals. The city hosts an annual GLBT Pride Parade on
the Ringstrasse, as well as a high-profile international
HIV/AIDS charity event known as the Life Ball. As for the
gay venues, most are clustered around Naschmarkt in
the 4th, 5th and 6th districts, but there are a few others
scattered around the city. Austrians arent usually keen
on starting conversation with strangers, so dont be shy
unless you want to spend the evening by yourself.
CAF BERG
Caf Berg has been catering to the gay, lesbian and
transgender community for the past 17 years in the
same street that Sigmund Freud once lived and worked.
The caf offers breakfast well into the afternoon, and

are held here, from fashion shows to lively parties, and if

Sightseeing
The first district, surrounded by the majestic imperial
buildings 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 visitor.
Using public transport to get to these places is easy.
MAIN SIGHTS
BELVEDERE
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 displayed 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.QC4, Prinz-EugenStr. 27, tel. +43 1 79 55 70, www.belvedere.at. Open

DANUBE TOWER VIENNA
Architect Hannes Lintl designed the Vienna Donauturm
in 1964 for the Viennese International Horticultural Show.
Since then it has become a part of the Viennese skyline, a
popular lookout point and a tourist attraction. The Vienna
Donauturm located near the northern bank of the Danube
in the middle of the Donaupark, which was built to host the
horticultural fair in Viennas 22nd District, Donaustadt. It is
one of Viennas tallest building with a height of 252 meters.
776 steps lead to its viewing platform, which is at a height
of 150 meters, but there are two elevators taking visitors
on a 35 second ride to the top. On the platform are two
revolving restaurants offering a magnificent panoramic
view, and during the summer there is also a bungee site.

HOFBURG
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 Hofreitschule (Spanish Riding School)
perform here, as well as the boy sopranos and altos of
the Wiener Sngerknaben (Vienna Boys Choir)QA2,

HUNDERTWASSER-KRAWINAHAUS
This vibrant and fanciful public housing complex,
now an iconic landmark of the work of Austrias own
architectural iconoclast, Friedensreich Hundertwasser,
regularly tops lists of visitors favourite sights in Vienna.
As you can probably tell by the Gaudi-esque shapes
and colourful palate, Hundertwasser embraced a
playful, environmentally-focused artistic philosophy. He
proclaimed that straight lines were godless and immoral,
that every building should have as many trees as tenants,
that rolling, uneven floors were a divine melody to the
feet, and that access to a window was a basic human
right. While entering the building is not permitted (it
is a private residence for 52 families and 250 trees and
shrubs), the Kunsthaus Wien, located just down Untere
Weigerberstrae, features a small museum and caf
dedicated to this controversial figure.QI2, Kegelgasse

MUSEUMSQUARTIER WIEN
Formerly the imperial court stables, the MuseumQuarter
Wien complex now functions as a lively meeting point for
young artists, musicians and students. The ten museums
and venues housed here focus on fostering the creation of
art as well as its appreciation, so exhibitions, performances
and workshops in a range of disciplines (as well as free
wireless internet) are offered to the public year-round. In
warm weather, the central courtyard features a ptanque
field, mini-racecar track, outdoor bars and restaurants, and
distinctive brightly coloured outdoor couch-like Enzis,
so you can grab a cold beer and get to know the locals.

SCHLOSS SCHNBRUNN
(SCHNBRUNN PALACE)
This magnificent summer palace of the Habsburg royalty
truly embodies the opulence of the Baroque era, from
its topiary maze and minutely manicured gardens to the
ornately detailed interiors. Several tour packages offer
access to the highlights of its 1,441 rooms, which have
witnessed imperial births and deaths, the signings of
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
and well-designed enclosures. If youre the more intrepid
sort, definitely opt for a hike up the hill to the ornamental
Gloriette, where you can refuel with Kaffee and a Kipferl,
just like Empress Maria Theresa did more than 250 years
ago.QD4, Schnbrunner Schlossstr. 47, MSchnbrunn,

Even if youre in European church overload, this is one
cathedral you dont want to skip. This location has functioned
as the religious, cultural and geographic centre of Vienna for
more than eight centuries, a history which can practically
be traced through the basilicas mish-mash of architectural
styles. If you can believe it, there are even more legends
surrounding this landmark than there are tourists, so taking
a tour is strongly recommended, especially later in the day

KUNSTHISTORISCHES MUSEUM
Nowhere in Vienna will you experience a more salient account
of Austrian imperial history. The buildings layout even echoes
the geography of the Habsburg monarchy - the impressive

(Rubens, Bruegel, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Drer), the west wing
boasts a comprehensive overview of important Spanish
and Italian works (Titian, Raphael, Caravaggio, Tintoretto,
Velsquez). Egyptian, near East, Roman and Greek antiquities
and Austrian art from the 17th and 18th centuries make up

Renowned for its zoological and anthropological holdings,
this museum offers the scientific perspective of the

including the Colombian emerald presented to Hernn

SECESSION
This remarkable building was conceived as a deliberate
opposition to the predominant artistic nostalgia of the early
20th century, and most of Vienna ridiculed its crowning gold
sphere as a goldenes Krauthappel or golden cabbage when
it was unveiled in 1898. Today, the vegetable-ism has become
something of an endearment with the building featured on
the back of Austrian-minted 0,50 coins, and the building has
functioned as a forum for modern Austrian artists for more than
100 years. The main attraction is undoubtedly Gustav Klimts

Daytrips
KLOSTERNEUBURG
Krems
sterreich Werbung / Himsl
When youve seen enough of Vienna and have an extra day

or two to spare, hop on a train or a bus and head out to the
pristine countryside of Lower Austria where you will enjoy
beautiful scenery, marvel at amazing baroque architecture,
splurge in well-equipped spas and thermal baths, unwind
in cosy cafs and restaurants on cobble-stone streets, and
taste the wine from famous century-old wineries of the
Wachau Valley. Considering Austrias reliable infrastructure
and affordability of bus and train service, youd have no
trouble reaching any of the destinations we recommend
here. Schedules can be obtained at the website of Austrian
Railways (BB), www.oebb.at. Tickets can be purchased at
the railway stations, online, or from the bus driver.
KREMS
Just a one-hour ride from Vienna by train, Krems is a delightful,
remarkably well-preserved medieval town in the Danube
Valley. Its success as the centre of the Danube trading
route peaked in the 13th-16th centuries, but the town was
plundered during the 30 Year War in the 17th century and
never regained its commercial status. Unlike in many other
Austrian towns, the 17th-18th century baroque architecture
hasnt really taken root in Krems, which explains why the
town still charms visitors with its unique medieval character.
Start exploring Krems at Landstrae, the citys main pedestrian
promenade filled with cafs, restaurants and souvenir shops,
then stop by at the Town Hall (Rathaus) and wander around
the towns numerous small squares, cobbled streets and
narrow alleys. Visit the magnificent Parish Church, one of only a
few churches in town with the baroque interior, then continue
on to the Dominican Monastery with its museum dedicated to
the areas long-standing tradition of winemaking. Krems also
has a more modern part, just beyond the Steiner Gate, where
the relatively new Danube University adds a younger fresher
touch to this otherwise very historic town.
Getting there: Hourly trains to Krems/Donau leave from
Viennas Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof (Tram D from the Opera
House). One-way fare is 13.90.
MELK AND THE ABBEY

If there was such thing as a national abbey, the Melk Abbey
(Stift Melk) would be the one for Austria. Perched atop the
hill overlooking the Danube, this imposing Benedictine
building is so enormous it almost dwarfs the surrounding
The wealthy town of Klosterneuburg, 14km north of Vienna

on a hill beside the Danube river, makes a great daytrip for
art and wine lovers. Starting off as a Roman fortification,
Klosterneuburg was revived by Charlemagne in early
medieval times, and the foundation of the monastery has
ensured its prominence and a stead supply of excellent
wine - ever since, attracting many affluent residents.
Klosterneuburg is also the place where the famous writer
Franz Kafka died in a sanatorium in 1924.
To get there, take the S40 train from Spittelau or
Heiligenstadt to Klosterneuburg-Weidling station.
Alternatively, bus N239 from Heiligenstadt and N240
from Handelskai also go to Klosterneuburg. Travel time
is 10-15 minutes for all types of transport. For further

monastery that attracts thousands of tourists to the quiet
town of Melk every year. Although monks have lived here
for over 900 years, the abbey was completely rebuilt in 1732

ESSL MUSEUM CLOSING

At Vienna In Your Pocket we're sad to hear of the
closure of the valued Essl modern art museum in
Klosterneuburg near Vienna. A lack of support from the
authorities means this treasure trove of contemporary
Austrian art will soon no longer be open to visitors. The
museum bows out with a week of free admission from
24 to 30 June, after which it will be turned into a art
depot. These Open Days feature many tours, lectures
and a final countdown event.

Jewish Vienna
There are few cities in Europe where the Jewish
population has been so deeply ingrained, and yet, has
experienced such devastation during the persistent waves
of anti-Semitism and in the World War II, as Vienna. The
historical, political and economic contribution of the Jewish
community into this citys past and present can hardly be
underestimated. It would suffice to say that three of four
Nobel Prize Winners from Austria were Jewish. Luminaries
such as the father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, writers
Arthur Schnitzler and Stefan Zweig, composers Gustav
Mahler and Emmerich Kalman, and the founder of modern
Zionist movement Theodore Herzl, all lived and worked
here and were all of Jewish origin.

The Sigmund Freud Museum

Berggasse 19 in Viennas ninth district has become one
of the worlds most famous addresses: Here is where
Sigmund Freud lived and worked for 47 years until he
was driven into exile in 1938. Pioneering works such as
The Interpretation of Dreams were written in the study.
In these rooms, the Sigmund Freud Museum presents an
exhibition documenting the life and work of the founder
of psychoanalysis with unique film material depicting the
Freud family and original objects and furniture from Freuds
belongings.
EARLY HISTORY
The first mention of Jews in Vienna is from the 12th
century. By 1420 the Jews had comprised about 5% of
the citys population, but soon they were expelled from
the city, their property was confiscated, and many were
brutally murdered in nearby Erdberg. Later in the 15th
century they were allowed to return and establish their
own colony in Leopoldstadt. Under the reign of Empress
Maria Theresa laws were introduced that substantially
worsened the condition of the Jews; these were later
repealed, and Vienna became the center of Jewish culture
in Central Europe.
JEWISH RENAISSANCE AND

THE RISE OF ANTI-SEMITISM
The years following the Revolution of 1848 were quite stable
and prosperous for the Jewish community. The presence of
the Jews became obvious in the citys social, economic and
political life. Anti-Semitic feelings were formented by many
of Viennas public officials and politicians, one of the most
radical of them being Dr. Karl Lueger, the Mayor of Vienna
from 1897 to 1910. Early in the 20th century, twenty-one
members of the extreme anti-Semitic All-Deutsche Partei
were elected into parliament.
WORLD WAR II
AND THE HOLOCAUST
On March 12, 1938, Hitler marched into Vienna and made
a speech at the balcony of the Hofburg Palace. Almost
immediately, Aryan-only laws were enacted, and Jews were
deprived of civil rights, were not permitted to own land or
hold public office. On November 9, 1938, the notorious
Kristallnacht occurred, when angry residents, driven by
the Nazi party, torched Jewish businesses and synagogues.
About 6,000 Jews were apprehended and sent to Dachau
camp that day. Following the Wannsee Conference of
1942, Jews were stripped of their citizenship and mass
deportations to concentration camps ensued. The Jewish
community, that had counted over 200 thousand people
in 1938, was all but decimated. More than 130,000 were
forced to leave the country, about 65,000 were murdered.
Less than 1,000 managed to survive the catastrophe.

THE JEWISH COMMUNITY

TODAY
It took Austria almost fifty years to come to terms and accept
its role in the holocaust. Traces of anti-Semitism continued
through the 1980s and can still be felt to this day. Not until 1991
did the government finally issue a statement acknowledging
their role in the Third Reich. The Jewish population has been
growing since the 1950s, primarily due to immigration from
Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and Iran; today it
stands at about 14,000 and there are fifteen synagogues.
JEWISH SIGHTS
The Jewish Museum of Vienna is one of the largest in
Europe, with locations at Dorotheergasse and Judenplatz.
The Dorotheergasse location uncovers the Jewish history
of Vienna throughout the centuries, while at Judenplatz
there are the archeological remains of a 500-year old
synagogue, and a monument to the Austrian victims of
the holocaust. The Stadttempel at Seitenstettengasse
is the only synagogue to survive the war and is open for
guided tours. Other Jewish sights include Theodore Herzl
Stiege, the stairs named after the father of Zionism, and
the monument to the victims of Gestapo at Morzinplatz.
The Jewish Welcome Center at Stephansplatz has further
information about Jewish life and culture in Vienna.

FREUD IN VIENNA
Sigmund Freud, one of Viennas most prominent Jewish
intellectuals, lived and worked at Berggasse 19 between
1859 and 1938. Hes now recognized as the founder
of modern psychology, but when he was in Vienna,
Freuds career as a researcher and theorist was heavily
marked by confrontation and opposition due to the
strong anti-Semitic attitude in Viennese politics and
society. Consequently, Freud did not enjoy much local
recognition for his work on psychoanalysis, which was
held in low regard and labelled as a Jewish science, and
his career at the University of Vienna stagnated crumbled.
After the annexation of Austria in 1938 he fled to London,
but despite the constant ostracism he experienced in
Vienna, he always longed for his former home.

Expat Vienna
So youve decided to settle down in Vienna; perhaps youve
met your sweetheart here, or have been dispatched to work
here by your boss. Whatever brings you to this city, do keep
in mind that just as anywhere else, youll be confronted
by both pros and cons of living in a foreign country and
in a different cultural environment. While Vienna has long
been a cosmopolitan city with headquarters of major
international organizations, such as the UN, OPEC or OSCE,
and it does have a sizeable expat population, you will still
be facing certain dilemmas ranging from how to find an
apartment, where to send your children to school, and
not least important, how to make yourself comfortable
and find a circle of friends here. We have assembled some
useful information for you, and while it is by no means allinclusive, we believe that it will help you make a good start.
To the benefit of Vienna, it is one of the easier cities to
live in for several reasons:
It has one of the highest standards of living in the world
and has continuously been rated the best place to live by
Mercer and other rating agencies;
It boasts excellent infrastructure. Public transport is quite
affordable and runs on time, and the city streets, for the
most part, tend to be kept clean and safe;
Vienna has good healthcare system although you should
expect somewhat longer waiting times to see a specialist
than, for instance, in the US. Family physicians are usually
quite accessible and you dont normally have to wait long. For
EU citizens, healthcare is available via pan-European e-card;
It has countless opportunities for cultural and intellectual
fulfilment and features a number of world-class
museums, theatres and opera houses;
Viennas greenery and recreational areas are meticulously
maintained and the city has vast opportunities for
exercising and sports;
Although Vienna is quintessentially a German-speaking
city, language shouldnt be a serious problem. Many
locals, particularly of the younger generation, have a
superb command of English and are willing to use it.
That said, dont expect every corner baker, hairstylist or
plumber to understand you, try to pick up some useful
phrases in German before you arrive or sign up for a
language course when you are here.
Yet, despite those numerous advantages, its not that
everything is hunky-dory in this city, and there are
certain bumpy areas you should beware of:
Vienna is a costly city to live in. Food, especially that of
high quality, tends to be on the pricey side, as are most
services and utilities. Although not quite as outrageous as
in London or Paris, living in Vienna is substantially more
expensive than in cities like Berlin or Prague;
Finding a suitable place to live in might be your biggest
challenge. Due to extreme shortage of prime real estate,
many apartments in Vienna tend to be old, unfurnished and
seriously overpriced. Furthermore, 95% of property is rental, so
buying an apartment, should you wish to do this, may prove
nearly impossible, especially for non-EU residents (unless, of
course, you are an oil tycoon or a famous opera star);
Although they are used to foreigners (and perhaps exactly

for that reason), the Viennese dont usually accept outsiders
with open arms, which explains why making friends in this
city may turn into an uphill battle. It certainly helps to have
a sizeable expat and immigrant community, but the truth
is that no matter how long you have stayed in Vienna and
how well youve mastered German, you will be reminded
time and again that you are a foreigner here.
For many expats, especially those coming from Englishspeaking countries, impersonal and often sloppy
customer service in Vienna can be a bitter pill to swallow
(see our Snooty Service box). Since there isnt much we
can do to change it, just take it in stride and get used to it.
After a while, it simply becomes another routine.

You can use all of your senses and imagination

Behind the faade of Viennas imperial opulence, you

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) or visit the worlds oldest zoo in Schnbrunn.

aviaries. Highlights include the feeding of the sharks and
piranhas (Sun & Wed at 15:00) as well as other animals

FLOWERS
While Vienna definitely has no shortage of major brand

names featuring both extravagant luxury collections and
informal street-style fashion, we thought that rather than
