Favourite gallery KUNSTFORUM WIEN
This private gallery hosts fabulous exhibitions of 20th century and contemporary art. kunstforumwien.at/en
Favourite cafés KLEINES CAFÉ
In the heart of Vienna, but off the tourist trail, this is a really charming place. I also love Crème de la Crème patisserie in the 8th district; Gerstner in the 1st district (which has a stunning third floor that few people know about) and Café Français for great coffee and delicious food. Franziskanerplatz 3, 1010 Vienna
Favourite restaurant KLEE AM HANSLTEIC
Amazing food and service – and the most wonderful location in the woods, besides a lake, surrounded by nature. Amundsenstraße 10, 1170 Vienna
Favourite markets BRUNNENMARKT
For street food, all sorts of spices, fruit and veg. Naschmarkt is a large, beautiful market, which on Saturdays hosts a flea market.
Favourite way to spend an hour
Exploring the hidden alleys of the 1st district, ice-cream in one hand and camera in the other.
Place to see by night
The Christmas decorations along Ringstraße. The view of the city’s contemporary architecture along the Danube, stretching from the Strandcafé, is a close second.
Best view
57 RESTAURANT & LOUNGE On the 57th floor at Hotel Meliá, it has breathtaking views. Donau-City-Straße 7, 1220
Favourite hotel
HOTEL ALTSTADT VIENNA Luxurious art hotel in a former residential block – feels like staying in an art gallery! altstadt.at
The one thing you have to see…
Too hard! I would say the historic 1st district. And the Schönbrunn Palace, which is a famous symbol of the city. schoenbrunn.at/en/
