Even if they offer a wide range of coffee specialties, Viennese coffee houses are not only about having a hot drink or some good food. Their special atmosphere invites you to stay as long as you wish without feeling pressurized to order again or to pay instantly. Taking your time is the motto: whether that means reading the newspaper, chatting with your friends or watching people passing by. Vienna’s coffee houses are a real institution and were made a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage in 2011.
