Even the most convinced urbanist and city tiger will have his/her moments of street satiety. In Vienna, one of the most gorgeous green spaces is located in the 9 th. district, not far from the University and Ringstraße.
I talk (yeah well, I write) about Universitätscampus at Alser Straße / Lange Gasse.
It´s an accumulaton of several [...]
Alright, call me posh, but I like Naschmarkt in Vienna. It is one of the few places in Vienna to get real ethnical edibles and ready made food.
But still, Naschmarkt is full of Viennese singularity.. I mean, I haven´t seen another market that has a stall only selling “Essiggurken und Champagnerkraut” (pickled gherkins and champagne-Sauerkraut). [...]
Just two impressions from the snow capped Sigmund Freud Park in Vienna today. So good to have a cell-camera!
Besides, I like snow
While looking for new jeans I stumbled over an old traditional viennes coffeehouse in the middle of the lively Mariahiflerstraße. Café Ritter is situated in the middle of this shopping street in a wonderfull, splendid house from the 19th century.
The café is one large, L-shaped room with a high, stucko panneled cieling. So it could [...]
As someone being interested in films I find it hard to find good, classic films. Most video shops don´t have films like “Dr. Stranglove”. What´s more, it´s even hard finding them on the internet.
Happily, I found a video shop with exactly this choice, and they even serve great coffe. It´s the Oz – Cinethek in [...]

Café Sperl is located near to the Naschmarkt (a marketplace which I should portrait very soon), infamous shopping-mekka Mariahilferstraße and the inner city of Vienna.
The Café itself, as you can see on the picture, is kept [...]
Recently I´ve been to the Café Central in Wien Herrengasse for the first time. Of course, I was anxious to see the famous interior of the café that housed famous people like Sigmund Freud, Arthur Schnitzler and Leo Trotzki. And I was anxious tasting the coffee…
Well, as I have already written in another post, the [...]
Once again a post about the endless search of good coffee in Vienna. But this time the search was victorious…
One very important good point about working in the downtown of a city is the high concentration of stores seeling good food and drinks..
Luckily I found a coffee-shop 5 minutes away from my work with exquisite [...]
One of the best sides of Vienna are, no doubt about that, the coffeehouses, BUT, one of the worst sides of Vienna is the coffee served in most coffeehouses…
As a guy grown up near the italian border, I´m used to have high quality coffee – mild, creamy, strong – in many different versions – cappuccino, [...]
