My boyfriend started at Diplomatische Akademie a few weeks ago, and as an incoming student he participated in a number of welcoming events including a pub crawl. For the majority of the student body is from outside of Austria, many of them have no clue about the city and good places to eat and go for drinks. So you can see how this pub crawl can give good tips from local students to international students right? I was told that they went to some of the strangest and most expensive bars in town and managed to finish a pub crawl without going to a single pub. This incident inspired me to write this post. I want to introduce one of my favorite bar/restaurants in town.

Upon my first visit to Vienna more than a year ago, I found this cafe/ bar off Mariahilfestrasse on Zollergasse called Cafe Europa. For those who have been here for long enough are probably already familiar with this place. It is actually one of the most famous places in Vienna particularly among young people here due to its location and its atmosphere. I find its food and drinks are reasonably priced, not to mention their food is delicious. One of the things I like a lot about this place is that its kitchen is open until after midnight (might be later). The place opens at 9am and closes at 5am everyday. When you go there on weekends, it is likely you will not be able to find a seat without a reservation. Additionally, Cafe Europa also invites many DJs to play at the back of their restaurant, so if you want to celebrate finishing your class at the end of this week, why not make a visit to Cafe Europa!?
