Cafe Central

Famous café once loved by the city's intellectuals

Herrengasse / Strauchgasse
Vienna A-1010
+43 01 533 376 324

Cafe Central is probably the most famous coffeehouse in Vienna, which is saying a lot in a city known for its coffeehouses. At the turn of the century, it was a meeting place for intellectuals such as Victor Adler and Otto Bauer, writer Peter Altenberg and even, Leon Trotsky. After that heydey, it lost popularity and closed for many years. Reopened in 1986 as the Central, its gothic vaults and quality coffee once again brought the back both locals and visitors to see the most architecturally interesting coffeehouse in Vienna.
