Schonbrunn is an absolute must. It's fabulous. Although it's touristy,
I would suggest going to Grinzing in the evening. You can get good food,
nice music, and the town is very picturesque (and lit up at night). As
for cafes, I prefer Aida (which can be found all over town): you can get
cakes and pies just as good there as anywhere else, and cheaper too. For
a small, but quick, delicious and filling snack, stop at Treznewski's,
just off the Graben on Dorotheegasse, right near Kartnerstrasse. For a
splurge, go up to the restaurant in the building on Stephansplatz, across
from the Dom. You'll have a fabulous view of Stephansdom, Kartnerstrasse
and the Graben. Have you ever heard of Hundertwasser? Visit the wild
apartment building and shops that he designed (there's also a
Hundertwasser museum nearby - worth a visit). Personally, I enjoy going
to the Nashmarkt (market). They have EVERYTHING there, including Arabic,
Greek and other ethnic food, and it all looks SO delicious!
Oh, and while you're at Aida's, have a pastry for me too! Laurie in Mexico City |
