10 (+2) of our favourite things about Favoriten. Yes, we’re talking the 10th district
The 10th district – the hood, the ‘burbs. Mention it to anybody living in this city, and certain images pop up into their mind – hundreds of hole-in-the-wall mobile phone repair stores, Turkish bakeries, light muddy brown or pastel satellite city-like buildings, the mix of languages living within this vast district’s boundaries being thrown from apartment windows. We explored and wrote a guide for this often misunderstood district, and you loved what you discovered.
Vienna’s forgotten Coffeehouses: 10 of the best, lesser known coffeehouses where the locals go
Viennese coffeehouses pay no attention to time, or the world outside. And their bohemian, romantic charm only grows as they get older – the wooden floorboards, the feeling like you’re sitting next to a poet or an artist, newspapers on wooden holders, hat racks, marble table tops and Thonet chairs. Incredibly, all these years on, coffeehouses are still a refuge for all kinds of people in the city, everybody having their neighbourhood favourite.
We composed a list of 10 of Vienna’s best, yet lesser known coffeehouses where the locals drink their Melange (a Viennese version of the cappuccino).
You won’t find most of them in your typical tourism guide, which rarely go past the coffeehouse celebrities like Café Central and Café Hawelka, so we like to call these Vienna’s forgotten coffeehouses.

The 7 best places for Pho in Vienna
Ok, all you Pho soup fangirls and fanboys, this one was for you. We rounded up the spots in the city where to get the best of Vietnam’s proud national dish, the Pho soup, in Vienna. For those of you not familiar with the fad of Pho, this beef/chicken noodle soup, infused with basil, cloves and ginger, accompanied by extra bean sprouts, a spicy sauce, Hoisin (sweet and salty sauce), coriander and a wedge of lemon, make for a terrifically satisfying welter of flavours. And on our slurping soup journey we discovered that it’s not only the noodles that are entangled in this culinary Vietnamese delight, but also the owners, who are basically all either related to each other or acquainted, in friendship or competition, on who best brings the flavours of home to Vienna.
