5. Spend some time with the bars & cafes of Schleifmühlgasse – Guide to Wieden

It’s got a Sch-uper, sch-exy name (sch-orry, we couldn’t help ourselves) and it’s lined with some cafes and bars that are some fourth district favourites. Let’s begin with Vollpension – the cafe by day, bar by night run by a team of loveable Omas (grandmas) and Opas (grandpas). That’s right, Vollpension has a mix of old and young working the tables and behind the counter, meaning this place has some of the best cake in the city and possesses a one-of-a-kind character. The living room atmosphere will keep you there for hours.

While we’re talking old (sorry Omas!) we’ll draw your attention to another Schleifmühlgasse legend, Cafe Anzengruber. Some say the best Schnitzel in the city can be had here, some have claimed it as their cosy local drinking hole – all we’re going to say is, this place has a lot of character.

Also, for those seeking a bit of Britain in Vienna, there’s Bobby’s food store which sells all kinds of favourite food and drinks from the UK and there’s also Four Bells – a go-to Irish pub for those seeking such.
