Vienna's most beautiful pavement cafés

The summer in Vienna is something very special. Once the weather has become hot, it drives half of Vienna out onto the streets and pavements of the city. Because the summer is “Schanigarten” or "pavement café" time! There is nowhere better to settle down to a white spritzer and watch the hustle and bustle on the streets. That is precisely the characteristic element of a “Schanigarten”: tables and chairs are placed on the pavements, sidewalks, small squares or along house walls so that people can spend pleasant mornings and balmy summer evenings here. And the best part about it is that everybody does it! No matter whether a quaint wine bar, an old-established café or a hip brunch restaurant on the market square - the "Schanigarten" is there for everyone to sit down and enjoy Vienna to the full.

From cool market places and hip cafés

There are definitely enough cool bars and restaurants in Vienna! But then a cool place WITH a “Schanigarten” or outdoor café is again a huge plus. This applies to the following cafes. Here there is something for all (hip) tastes. I would especially recommend the “Schanigarten” at Ulrich. As it is not far from the Mariahilfer Straße, it is a wonderful place for a short break after shopping to refresh yourself before plunging back into the fray again!
