11 Places in Vienna You Need To See Before They Get Too Expensive
Vienna is a city of unde-stated cool, often mistaken for being a place purely for classical music buffs and coffee-lovers. Venture into the lesser known areas, however, and you’ll soon discover that there is much more to the Austrian capital than meets the eye. Here are a few hidden gems to visit before word gets out.
Café Prosecco-Bar Piccaro
Originally strictly a local haunt, this old school-style bar has recently attracted the attention of Vienna’s younger population, who enjoy jugs of bubbly for under 10 euros. The word is spreading quickly, however, so be sure to visit before the hoards descend.

Brunnenmarkt
At the Brunnenmarkt, you can find some of the best falafel wraps in the city for just 2 euros and gigantic loaves of bread for as little as 80p. The area surrounding the market is slowly being gentrified, with Yppenplatz often being cited as the latest hip hangout.

The Schönbrunner Bad
Hidden in the wooded areas surrounding the majestic Schönbrunn Palace, this swimming pool complex is a hidden haven in the sweltering summer months. Comprised of two pools, one for adults and one for children, and a sizable veranda for sunbathing, it is a fantastic place to spend a day in the heat. Prices have been climbing ever higher in recent years, however, so be sure to take a visit soon.

Market at Karmelitermarkt
The Schöne Perle restaurant in the Karmelitermarkt has established itself as a hotspot for foodies, with a kitchen that is putting a new spin on traditional Viennese cuisine. Marktlücke, an atmospheric restaurant serving Austro-Medditerean cuisine, is also worth a visit.
