Viennese Coffeehouse Culture is now declared UNESCO cultural heritage
In Vienna we have the saying that “a coffeehouse is a spot where one can consume time and space but only the coffee is on the bill”.
The tradition of the Viennese Coffeehouse Cultures dates back to the end of the 17th century and is strongly affected by a very special atmosphere. In a traditional coffeehouse you typically find the interior design in the style of Historism, small marble tables and elegant black Thonet chairs. Not to forget a wide selection of daily newspapers and magazines that everyone can read while having his favorite coffee and cake. From time to time guests also visit their favourite coffeehouse for readings and musical evenings.
There are more than 1,000 coffeehouses all over the city, so next time you come to Vienna you have to find your favorite one during a “Vienna Coffeehouse Tour”.
