18 Shots Of Vienna's Cosy Cafes
Coffee culture is an essential pastime in Vienna. A true Wiener Kaffee Haus should feel like a home away from home, a place where you can hang your coat up at the door and settle into a comfy seat to enjoy a quiet afternoon. Visitors to Vienna are spoiled rotten with the numerous snug cafes on offer. Some are scrupulously traditional, with worn tapestry chairs and metal trays lined with doilies, while others have adopted a modern edge.
Café Sperl
Café Sperl first opened its doors in the 1800s. This wonderfully antiquated joint has free piano concerts every Saturday and traditional Austrian fare on the menu.
Café Prückel
One of Vienna’s most iconic cafes, Prückel is located adjacent to the Stadtpark, recognisable by the Italic neon sign. Decked out in pastel colours, it has a 1950s vibe.
Café Central
One of the most popular tourist cafes, this iconic venue has been serving the Viennese population since 1880.
