Vienna Going Out

Vienna is filled with stylish shops, modern architecture and young hip clubs, as well as excellent restaurants. The Lindengasse fashion mile is a narrow side street that is filled with contemporary fashion boutiques. Shops like The Hot Dogs, Buntwasche, La Petite Boutique and Wabisabi’s are filled with the latest fashion trends from Europe and Asia, as well as from the US. Shopping in the old city is also a blast. Fashions from London, Paris, Munich and Tokyo are featured in shops like Firis, Kiehl’s and Artup. Fine wines and luxury food are also available in the old city especially in Boehle, which offers incredible wines and traditional snacks.

Viennese cuisine, international favorites and luxury dining are available all over the city. The old city is the home of Bastei Beisi and Augustinerkeller, which are great places to enjoy special Austrian wines and Viennese delicacies. The other districts around the city also have great restaurants that offer Austrian cuisine. Kroprinz Rudolph, Schweizerhaus and Salm Brau, which is a brewery and restaurant in a Salesian convent are local favorites. If you’re hungry for international favorites try Frank’s American Bar & Restaurant or Achilleus. There’s also a great French Vietnamese restaurant called Indochine 21 if you want to try some exotic fruits and vegetables, as well as shellfish and soups.

Every city has their “In Places” and Vienna is no exception. Restaurants like Babu, Café Berg, Café Leopold and the Viennese institution Café Hawelka are great places to be seen and to see the trend setters in the city. If you want to dance visit A Danceclub in the Millenium City or Passage in Ringstrasse. Porgy and Bess is a favorite for jazz lovers and U4 is definitely the place to go if you like non stop action
