“Typically local”: Austria has several regional dishes, and they are particularly prominent here, where great value is placed on tradition both in terms of atmosphere and preparation.
“Music”: Pubs offering live music, where you can expect regular DJ sessions, and dancing - from jazz-clubs to city discos.
“Touristic”: Pubs, cafés and restaurants with added value for tourists - located in specific resorts or in historical buildings, with an especially nice view or right next to the city’s landmarks.
“Cafés”: For an uncomplicated break to drink an espresso, or café latte, read a paper, eat a slice of cake, or dive into typically Austrian coffeehouse atmosphere for a while.
