More on Vienna
Art and culture have a long tradition in Vienna, including theatre, opera, classical
music and fine arts. The Burgtheater is considered one of the best theatres in the
German-speaking world alongside its branch, the Akademietheater. The Volkstheater Wien and
the Theater in der Josefstadt also enjoy good reputations. There is also a multitude of
smaller theatres, in many cases devoted to less mainstream forms of performing arts,
such as modern, experimental plays or cabaret.
A number of museums are located in the Museumsquartier, the former Imperial Stalls converted into a museum complex. It houses the Museum of Modern Art, the Leopold Museum, additional halls with feature exhibitions and the Tanzquartier.
Vienna cafés
Viennese cafés have an extremely long and distinguished history dating back centuries. Traditionally, the coffee comes with a glass of water. Viennese cafés claim to have invented the process of filtering coffee from bounty captured after the second Turkish siege in 1683. Viennese cafés claim that when the invading Turks left Vienna, they abandoned hundreds of sacks of coffee beans.
Vienna nightlife
If you like to party, dance or just sit in a bar, with live music or a live DJ, there are many places to go to, with a wide range of different music styles, from chart music, to electronic beats and jazz sounds. We understand that not everyone has the desire nor the energy to dance the night away, so do not forget that there is always the possibility to spend a very civilised evening in a hotel bar, typical viennese restaurant or one of the many fantastic coffehouses dotted around the city. Vienna offers a varied nightlife with a lot of clubs and bars for every music taste, so there is no need to go to bed, but many reasons to stay up all night.
