Vienna
in Austria

Step into the Blaue Bar at Hotel Sacher, where royal-blue walls, crystal chandeliers and velvet booths make even a quick drink feel like an occasion. Right opposite the Vienna State Opera, it’s perfect for a pre-show cocktail or a late-night one, with Sacher-inspired creations bringing chocolate and apricot into the mix. 

We don't blame you, we also feel incredibly tempted to savour every dish from Bruder's menu and have sips from every cocktail featured in their eclectic selection. Bruder is a hip kitchen and bar that serves classic European meals with a twist...and that twist is nothing less than enchanting. 

The elegant DO&CO Hotel in the heart of Vienna is the place to dine and clink your glasses in its top-floor restaurant. Savour their contemporary Asian menu, the many options of freshly caught fish dishes and of course, the local heartwarming classics. You will not only be mesmerized by the food but by the beautiful view of Vienna’s St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Get ready for fine dining with a fine view.

With a minimalist interior in a teeny-tiny space, Kiang Dine and Wine serve some delicious Chinese small plates alongside a proportionally large selection of wines. The bottles change depending on the day and the aperitivos vary on the season. 

Skopik & Lohn is what we like to call a hidden gem, an incredibly fantastic place to dine, drink and indulge. Bring your best friend, your partner, your associate or your in-laws, it will be a total hit. 

If your idea of a good afternoon involves a little less sightseeing and a lot more staring at photographs, make a beeline for WestLicht. Founded in 2001, Vienna’s photography museum occupies a former glass factory turned lofty exhibition space, where changing shows range from major names like Vivian Maier and Ernst Haas to overlooked gems from Austrian photography. There’s also a permanent collection of around 360 cameras, including the world’s first commercially produced camera. And on Thursdays, stick around for its Hai Bar, named for the two sharks keeping watch behind the counter.

Vineyards might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Vienna, but trust us: they’re one of the city’s best-kept summer secrets. For this reason, we urge you to head to Wieninger am Nussberg in the 19th district for a glass of local wine, paired with a generous board of Austrian cheeses and cured meats, and get a taste of the Viennese slow life as it was meant to be enjoyed.

Zum Schwarzen Kameel is everything you've dreamt of and more. A marvellous restaurant that runs from dusk to dawn, with a fantastic bar and a vivid terrace to chat, cheer, and enjoy the delicacies made by chef Sevgi Hartl. This place is home to classic dishes, heavenly cocktails, wines, beers and the best part of it all: home to many loyal regulars. Visit this special gem for breakfast, afternoon drinks and late-night dinners.
