Your job at the Altstadt Vienna?
Front Office Agent.
Only in Vienna?
The Viennese coffee house culture, it invites you to linger and enjoy like no other place.
Better elsewhere?
Beach vacation, Vienna is probably not quite the right place for that.
Your Vice?
Coffee with oat milk.
Sweet Vienna?
For sweet sins, the french pastries from the Café Crème de la crème.

In the morning in Hietzing to Café Nook or the Waldemar Tagesbar, at lunchtime to Ulrich & Erich and in the evening to my favorite Korean restaurant Gaon!
Chic Vienna?
Dinner at Restaurant Bruder or TIAN and then to the Musikverein
When it's getting dark?
Take a walk along the Danube Canal near Schwedenplatz and then enjoy a break in one of the many restaurants or cafés there
Not in any tourist guide?
The butterfly house in the Burggarten. It is a small, tropical paradise in the heart of Vienna.

The Belvedere with its art collection and magnificent gardens, where art meets history in a dreamlike setting.
