History
Starting o 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 fortications
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 magnicent 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, ecient transportation,
numerous modern buildings
and architectural gems. A city
that oers 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 benets.
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 oerings
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 suered 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.

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. Magnicent 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
nd 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.
8
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
nd a bar that ts 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
Ocial languages: German. Slovene, Croatian and
Hungarian are ocially 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-oor 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
Ocially 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 coee 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.

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 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.
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.

The Prater started o 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-gorounds, bowling alleys and other attractions were quickly
built and soon enough the crowds from across Vienna
ocked to the area in search for fun and relaxation away

THE RIESENRAD
WIND-O-BONA
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 lm 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.
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 ea
market for children.
ATTRACTIONS
All visitors should try out the landmark Riesenrad Ferris
wheel of course, but there's much more at the Prater.
The charming Liliputbahn miniature railway, opened
in 1928, pus around a 4km track and a ride with these
pung steam engines is a good introduction to the park.

March - April 2015

Vienna has always been synonymous with music for
centuries. Some of the greatest musical gures 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
xed attraction in Austrian musical life is the Vienna Boys
Choir, one of the oldest boys choirs in the world. For nearly
ve 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
and 18th centuries, Italian and French cuisine made their
way into the Viennese palate, followed by strong Bohemian
and Hungarian inuences in the 19th century, creating a
local cuisine both unique and delicious.

FIGLMLLER
The history of Viennas most famous schnitzel began in
1905, when Johann Figlmller founded a small tavern
behind the cathedral. Right from the start, the schnitzel
was what it still is today: a bit bigger, a bit thinner and
a bit crisper than the others, and served with the classic
potato salad side dish. Figlmller is still a lovingly run family
business. Also just around the corner at Bckerstrasse 6.

SERVICE & TIPPING

Many tourists and expats, especially those from
countries where it is assumed that customer is king, are
perplexed by the oddities of service in Vienna. Attitudes
here may range from extremely polite and friendly, to
professional but non-committal, to outright arrogant
and disrespectful. Locals claim that bad service has
always been common, and justify it with cultural
dierences and low salary levels. Perhaps Viennese
waiters simply need to be grumpy. Whatever the
reason, its perfectly normal to make clear if you are not
pleased with the service level. The Viennese revere their
Stammkunden (repeat customers), and even reserve
tables for them without being sure they will show up
so if youre turned away from a restaurant or caf with
several empty tables marked Reserviert, just demand
that a table be made available for you.
Note that the more upmarket restaurants in Vienna
often charge a Gedeck service fee of about 3 per
person, which goes some way to compensate for the
silverware, bread and butter.
Tipping about 10% at restaurants and cafs is expected;
not tipping anything is regarded as unacceptable.
Rounding up to the next euro is advised for services
like taxis.

VIENNAS SWEET
OBSESSION
sterreich Werbung/Eisenhut & Mayer
Probably in no other city would you nd such mind-boggling variety of savoury cakes, cookies, chocolates, nougats, marzipans and baked goods. Few other places in
the world would have locals choosing to eat a sweet dish
as a main course for dinner. Pastry and confections are
as quintessential to Vienna as St. Stephans Cathedral or
the waltz. Craving some sweet x for lunch? Try a slice of
the famous Apfelstrudl apple pie. Whats for dinner? How
about some Kaiserschmarrn - sliced pancakes served
with sugar powder, cinnamon and plum jam? Even if you
dont have a sweet tooth, you are almost certain to grow
one in Vienna. And while you wont have to walk more
than a block or two before you run into another place
that will tempt you to compromise on your cholesterol,
these are the venues that you shouldnt miss.

we crave for can probably not be found anywhere in Vienna.
Yet we applaud the eort of this restaurant near Naschmarkt.
The service is extremely friendly, and the omnipresent
images of Buddha combined with soothing Thai music
create the right setting. The pad thai was delicious and good
value. Sadly, smoke pervades even in the non-smoking
section.QG-3, Joanelligasse 8, MKettenbrckengasse,

PATARA
This luxury Thai restaurant with branches in Bangkok,

SIAM
Traditional decorations, portraits of the royal family on the
walls, and silk tablecloth all add a nice touch to this place.
The extensive food selection is but a tad dierent from the
real Bangkok cuisine, and yet, for lack of better aordable
options here in Vienna, well give them credit for trying.

THAI KITCHEN
Its not the most imaginative name for a Thai restaurant, but with
this warm domestic atmosphere, wooden furniture and fresh

anything else. Theres authentic Thai fare of rice, noodles, sh,

Coffeehouses
Vienna is one of those cities where coee is much more
than just a drink. Many coee houses in Vienna date back
to the 19th century, when there was little private heating,
and people used the coee houses as a second living
room, because they could not aord 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 coee,
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

CAF GRIENSTEIDL
Located at the back exit of the Hofburg, Caf Griensteidl is
another typical Viennese coeehouse. Its spacious, highceilinged room and lovely terrace make it a great place to
relax and listen to the carriages pass by. We believe the Black
Forest cherry cake is one of the best around; if nothing else,
a slice of this cake should put the caf on your radar.QA-2,

the neo-classical Rathaus (town hall), seat of the citys
government. The caf specializes in seasonal and
Austrian deserts, and the excellent brews will remind you
why Vienna is so well known for its coee. The waiting

French-inspired and will get you quite happily through

BETTEL-ALM
Though Vienna boasts several interesting places to spend
the night carousing with friends, they all have something
in common: they are distinctly Viennese. In contrast,
the Bettelalm has a distinctly Salzburger feel to it. From
the dcor to the music and the drinks, the Bettelalm is
reminiscent of aprs-ski and summer mountain locales

Designed by famous architect Adolf Loos in 1908, this bars
design is denitely in accordance with one of Loos driving
principles: cosiness. A tiny space, made to look larger than it
is by the mirrors mounted along the walls above the wooden
panelling, has only a handful of tables so be prepared
to share with strangers. The beer selection is weak and
overpriced, but the cocktails are top-notch. Quentin Tarantino

Nightlife
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-prole 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 oers breakfast well into the afternoon, and

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
denition a Heurigen is attached to the vineyard which
produces the very wine it serves. Traditionally these
places would only oer 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 coee are not

Sightseeing
The rst 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.
BELVEDERE
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

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

The Belvedere is one of the most striking and signicant

museums in the world and an absolute must-see for
the visitor to Vienna. When the Imperial Collection
was opened in the year 1781, the Upper Belvedere
became one of the rst museums in the world to
be accessible to the public. The Upper Belvedere
constructed between 1717 and 1723 is positioned
on a hill and aords a captivating view of Vienna. The
name Belvedere beautiful view goes back to the
times of Empress Maria Theresia in whose possession
the ensemble of palace and grounds fell shortly after
the death of Prince Eugene. Since the wellknown
urban landscape painter or vedutista Bernardo Bellotto
immortalised the view in his 18th century panorama, it
became known as the famous Belvedere view.
The Belvedere owns the worlds largest collection of
paintings by Gustav Klimt, including the famed Art
Nouveau icons, The Kiss and Judith I.
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.

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

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 oors 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

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 1908. 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 Beethoven Frieze, but the
higher ticket price will also snag you entry to the other

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 antiSemitism 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 suce 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 rst 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 conscated, 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 ocials 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 oce. 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.
Jewish Vienna
THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
TODAY
It took Austria almost fty 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 nally 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 fteen 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 ed to London,
but despite the constant ostracism he experienced in
Vienna, he always longed for his former home.

Daytrips
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 aordability 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 lled 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 magnicent 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.

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
area with its overwhelming presence. It is this magnicent
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
and has since undergone several further renovations, the
most recent one was completed in 2000. Today the Abbey
belongs to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. Dont miss
the stunning Marble Hall and the Abbey Library, as well as
the strikingly beautiful Abbey Church with ceiling frescos
by Johann Michael Rottmayr. Admire fantastic views of
the town and the Danube valley from the terrace and walk

of Vienna on a hill beside the Danube river, makes

o as a Roman fortication, 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 auent residents.

SHOPPING AREAS
FREIHAUSVIERTEL
Adjacent to the Naschmarkt, this small pocket
of storefronts, galleries and eateries is quickly
becoming one of the citys trendiest shopping areas.
Devoted specialists oer a range of unique novelties,
from Austrian champagne to recycled art.QG-3,
MKettenbrckengasse.
KRTNERSTRASSE AND THE GRABEN
These two wide pedestrian streets, anked by elegant

facades and joined at the strikingly modern Haas
House opposite from Stephansdom, form the
commercial arteries of Viennas rst district. This is the
citys most exclusive shopping area, where designer
label devotees go as much to see as to be seen.QB-2,
MStephansplatz.
MARIAHILFERSTRASSE
The long street running between Viennas sixth and
seventh districts is home to major international chains
oering clothing, music, house wares, and practically
everything else. Tucked into the side streets youll nd
smaller boutiques and unique local labels, especially in the
narrow cobbled streets of the Spittelberg, just up Stiftgasse,
behind the Museum Quarter.QF-3, MZieglergasse.
NASCHMARKT
Derived from the German verb naschen, meaning to
nibble, Viennas largest open-air market truly earns its
moniker. The colourful fruit and vegetable stalls are
interspersed with gourmet cheese, meat and ethnic
food vendors, all oering up samples of their products to
passers-by. If youre looking for a shopping experience for
all ve senses, this one is a must. At the markets southwest
end, Austrias largest Flohmarkt (Flea Market) sets up shops
every Saturday morning, oering second-hand clothing,
an array of unusual items, and antique treasures for expert
bargain hunters who show up early.QG-3.
When it comes to shopping, the Vienna scene really runs

the gamut from large fashion chains to small boutiques,
from designer labels to obeat artisans. The sheer variety
of retailers merits an extended shopping tour, but for those
with something more specic in mind, weve got a few
recommendations on where to start.
BOOKS & MAGAZINES

SHAKESPEARE & COMPANY
Crammed with literature top to bottom, this tiny store
sells some books you might have been searching forever
and couldnt nd, and then some more youve never ever
needed. Space is such a precious commodity here that
youd have to manoeuvre carefully not to chuck huge piles
of printed matter on the oor. A good selection of books
on art, travel and second-hand literature, all in English.

FASHION
While Vienna denitely has no shortage of major brand
names featuring both extravagant luxury collections and
informal street-style fashion, we thought that rather than
listing the ever-present Benettons, H&Ms and Zaras of the
world, we would direct you to some of Viennas numerous

MEET THE CONCIERGE

Together with In Your Pocket,
the citys hotel concierges
are important sources of
information for travellers.
Good concierges will be
able to give you restaurant
and sightseeing tips, and
can book event tickets for
you. In this issue, we speak
to Markus Wohlfarth, front
desk manager at the Hotel
am Parkring. Mr. Wohlfarth
worked two summer seasons in Italy after graduating
from a business and tourism college, followed by a
large hotel in southern Vienna, before joining the Hotel
am Parkring. Vienna has developed from a sleeping
beauty into a modern metropolis; I am proud of the city
and Austria and I love oering our guests a comfortable
and unforgettable stay.
This makes our hotel special...
Our exquisite boutique hotel with 55 rooms and
suites on the 11th to 13th oors is situated in the
centre of Vienna in a perfect and quiet location, within
easy reach of tram and metro. The hotel is small and
privately owned, and we are proud to oer our guests
the fabulous services of our 12th-oor restaurant The
Schick.
Special guests requests...
Guests have had many interesting requests over the
years. One special one I remember concerned an Arabic
guest who wanted to come back to Vienna in summer
to see the snow again, and asked me if I was 100% sure
that there was no possibility for snow in summer.
Special restaurants I recommend...
I like to recommend the Loca better eat better with
its excellent cuisine, which has the atmosphere of a
private dining room, and Wiener Wirtschaft with an
open and cosy feel to it.
Special sights I recommend...
Sights I like to recommend are the Kirche am Steinhof,
a beautiful and impressive church designed by Otto
Wagner, and the Wien Museum on Karlsplatz; these
perfectly represent the air and heritage of Vienna.
Vienna In Your Pocket....
has useful advice and insider tips away from the
standard tourist tracks. The information it oers is
more individual and special than that given by other
guidebooks, and I love to stay up to date myself and
help our guests make a good choice as far as sights and
trips are concerned.

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 dierent 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 nd an
apartment, where to send your children to school, and
not least important, how to make yourself comfortable
and nd 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 benet 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
aordable 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 panEuropean e-card;
It has countless opportunities for cultural and intellectual
fullment 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
English-speaking 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.
