Tour details

The City’s Extended Living Room

Peter Altenberg had his mail delivered to the Café Central, Stefan Zweig called the coffeehouse a kind of democratic club, and to this day you may sit for two hours over a small black coffee. On this tour we visit two coffeehouses that carry this culture, taste Melange, Einspänner and Verlängerter, with apple strudel, Gugelhupf or a slice of cake, and learn the unwritten rules: how to call the waiter, why the glass of water is free, and what the difference is between a Konditorei and a Kaffeehaus. In between, a walk through the lanes where the writers lived. The longer variant adds sausages and beer in between.

What it costs

All inclusive: for 4 guests € 118 per person, for 2 guests € 205. Composition: guide fee € 350 per tour (2.5 hrs) plus coffeehouse package € 30 per person for two houses (one house: € 270 plus € 17 per person).

Gut zu wissen

Which coffeehouses do we visit?

Two from the circle of traditional houses, depending on the day and the crowds: Sperl, Prückel, Bräunerhof, Diglas or Landtmann, for example. We avoid the queue outside the Central.

Is there anything savoury?

In the longer variant, yes: sausages and a beer between the two coffeehouses.

Is the tour suitable for literature lovers?

Very much so. Altenberg, Kraus, Zweig, Schnitzler and Torberg feature prominently, with quotes and addresses.
