Vienna Cafe - Cafs and Vienna Coffee Houses

Coffee houses in Vienna are a firm component of Viennese life. One sits in Jugendstilsesseln or the rotem Plüsch on marble tables, reads the (usually very extensive) selection of Austrian and international newspapers and magazines and drinks different coffee specialties, which for the sake of the better digestibility is always served with a glass of cold water. Popular coffee variants are for example the Verlängerter (with cold milk on the side), Brauner (with milk), and Schwarzer (without milk) or the well-known Melange (white coffee). In addition one enjoys the gourmet torts and cakes or light sheet paste pastry. In coffee houses one can sit and philosophise with a coffee (no more than 2.50 €) for hours, write or compose, and lose track of the world outside. Famous coffee houses among others are the Hawelka or the Bräunerhof in the 1st District or the Caf central at the Freyung. There are also newer scene coffee houses in Vienna, which are rather popular by the younger and trendier tourists. The Stein (the Stone), in Kolingasse 1 (Internet: www.caf-stein.com) is such a coffee house and is characterized by a minimalist Dcor, an Internet point, a vegetarian menu and a large menu for brunch.

What are the things to do when I start planning really cheap holidays. The two essential parts are on the one hand to find enough information about cheap hotels and cheap accommodation in general. The research on cheap accommodation should include all the alternatives to hotels as well: hostels, hostales, bed and breakfast, guesthouses, holiday rentals and so forth. The second thing to bear in mind planning a budget holiday is cheap transportation. What are the things to do when I compare cheap flights and train tickets for the cheapest deal available.
