Oh Vienna, how we love you so. But we’ll be the first to admit that your districts can be a little confusing. Vienna has 23 of them, to be exact, starting with the first one in the centre, from which each of them wind their way outwards in a ring. They’re numbered 1-23, but they also have specific names and postal codes, where the district can be identified by the two numbers in the middle. The 8th district is therefore 1080, also known as ‘Josefstadt’. But each of them has its own distinct character, home to plenty of artistic heritage, beautiful imperial palaces or just the perfect cup of coffee with a perfect people-watching view. You’ll love this city anywhere you stay, but it’s worth learning about its neighbourhoods (or Grätzl, as we say in Viennese), to stay somewhere that matches your vibe. Here’s our ultimate neighbourhood guide.

Legend has it that in 1683, a Viennese local grabbed the final bag of coffee beans left over by the Ottomans and started serving it up in Vienna. Since then, Vienna has become Europe’s coffee capital. And you’ll see it from the moment you touch down here. This city is full of beautiful cafés (some of them even have UNESCO status), and they show that the traditional Kaffeehaus is not just a place to sip and snack. These are social, community institutions at the very heart of Vienna’s culture. Here is our pick of the best.
