Activity itinerary

Graben and Kohlmarkt
  • 25m
  • Admission ticket included
The Graben in Vienna is the filled-in trench of the Roman military camp. The Graben is the starting point of this Food Tour and stretches from Stephansplatz in a north-westerly direction to Kohlmarkt and Tuchlauben. Narrow historical alleyways branch off from the Graben, such as Dorotheergasse, where the Trzesniewski bread roll buffet is located. In the Middle Ages, the Graben was a market square and at the end of the Middle Ages, elegant town houses were built on the Graben. In 1679, Emperor Leopold I donated the baroque Trinity Column after the plague epidemic. Subsequently, high secular and religious festivities were held on the Graben. In the 18th century, upmarket businesses settled on the Graben and it became a favourite rendezvous and promenade for the Viennese society. From the Graben, it is only a few steps in the direction of Am Hof and you are already at the "Zum Scharzen Kameel“ in Bognergasse, which takes its name from the bogners who lived near the Babenberg ducal court.
Buffet Trzesniewski Dorotheergasse
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
In the warmer months, people, locals and tourists alike, stand on the street in front of the Trzesniewski Brötchen Bar in Dorotheergasse and eat their sandwiches with a "Pfiff“, a very small amount of beer. The "Trzesniewski" was founded in 1902 by Krakow-born Franciszek Trzesniewski. The special thing about Trzesniewski's bread rolls is that the toppings, such as tomatoes, eggs, lentils, matjes and beetroot, are chopped into spreads and the coated bread is cut into small strips. This makes it easy to eat without cutlery, just with your hands. The Trzesnieswki bread rolls were accompanied by a legendary "Pfiff" beer. In this case, a Pfiff is just an eighth of a litre of beer. The beer at Trzesnieswki, which is always freshly tapped and goes perfectly with the rolls, comes from the Ottakringer brewery. The Ottakring brewery has been an Austrian-owned brewery in Ottakring, Vienna's 16th district, since 1837.
Zum Schwarzen Kameel
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
In 1619, Johann Baptist Cameel from Brno bought a house in Bognergasse to set up a spice shop, which he called "Zum schwarzen Kameel". Art Nouveau is an artistic movement in Vienna at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, according to which architects such as Otto Wagner and Adolf Loos constructed buildings with high-quality materials, such as the interior of the Black Camel. In addition to bar tables, there is a long bar with stools in front of the wine rack in the Schwarzes Kameel. The wine rack contains wines from well-known Austrian winegrowers from the Wachau, such as Emmerich Knoll, FX Pichler, Franz Hirtzberger and from the Kamptal, from Gobelsburg Castle. At the Black Camel's counter you will find, among other things, rolls such as leek with salmon, red cabbage with tuna, lentils with diced ham, salmon cream with horseradish, housewife's salad with matjes and the classic ham rolls with horseradish. In addition to the rolls, Wiener Schnitzel is also available as finger food.
Gasthof Zum Renner
  • 1h 50m
  • Admission ticket included
The Gasthof Zum Renner has been a classic Viennese inn in the north-west of Vienna, on Nußdorfer Platz in Vienna Döbling, since 1899. Nußdorfer Platz is located at the end of Greinergasse and is separated from the Danube by Heiligenstädterstrasse, which was already the link to Klosterneuburg in Roman times.
Grinzing (Pass by)
Grinzing, situated in the north-west of Vienna at the foot of the Kahlenberg, was already a flourishing village at the beginning of the 12th century. In the Middle Ages, it was mainly inhabited by farmers, winegrowers and day labourers who were in the service of the monasteries or Viennese citizens. During the reign of Emperor Joseph II, "wine journeys" to the surroundings of Vienna became common. After the Napoleonic Wars, Grinzing developed into a "wine tavern town" where wine was served in numerous wine taverns.
Cobenzl Aussicht
  • 35m
The Cobenzl on the Reisenberg, a local Viennese mountain on the edge of the Vienna Woods, originally belonged to the Jesuits. After the dissolution of the Jesuit order, the mountain passed to Johann Philipp Graf Cobenzl and under Mayor Karl Lueger the property was purchased by the municipality of Vienna in 1907. The City of Vienna subsequently built a mountain and viewing road starting from Grinzing with hairpin bends on the Cobenzl, which was also used by public buses, so that the Cobenzl reached its heyday as an excursion destination in the 1930s. The legendary Rondell Café, which was built in the early 1950s with wood panelling, terrazzo floors, a mid-century bar in the middle and a beautiful view of Vienna, was demolished and rebuilt in 2022. There is a publicly accessible viewing terrace on the roof of the new Cafe Rondell.
Kurkonditorei OBERLAA - Café Dommayer
  • 1h 15m
  • Admission ticket included
Café Dommayer, which was opened by the Schneider family of café owners after the First World War, is located on the corner of Dommayergasse and Auhofstrasse on Anna-Strauss-Platz in Hietzing, Vienna's 13th district. Seen from the city centre, Hietzing lies to the west, after Schönbrunn Palace on the southern bank of the Wien River. Schönbrunn Palace, the summer residence of the Habsburgs, led to the settlement of many aristocrats and high-ranking civil servants, so that Hietzing is still considered an elegant residential neighbourhood today. In 1984 the Gerersdorfer family had the Cafe Dommayer renovated in the old Viennese style and in 2006 the Oberlaa confectionery took over the business. In front of the Cafe Dommayer in Auhofstraße there is a garden with wooden decking and a spacious, gravelled, shady garden with trees and a small music pavilion adjoining the café building on Dommayergasse.
Hietzinger Pfarrkirche Maria Geburt
  • 5m
The Hietzing Church Am Platz in Hietzing was a pilgrimage church and the favourite church of Maria Theresa, who visited the church daily during her stays at Schönbrunn Palace. The Hietzing Church originated from a chapel of Klosterneuburg Abbey, which was rebuilt in Gothic style in the 15th century and remodelled in Baroque style in the 17th century. The Hietzing Church attracted many pilgrims because of the miraculous image of the Virgin Mary, which was preserved in 1751.
Schonbrunner Gardens
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Schönbrunn Palace was built in the 18th century in the floodplain of the Vienna River in the west of Vienna as a summer residence for Empress Maria Theresa. The 160-hectare park at Schönbrunn Palace, which was originally used by the Habsburgs as a hunting ground, was laid out in the style of a French garden around 1705/1706 by Jean Trehet, the imperial garden engineer who was apprenticed to the French garden architect Le Notre. In the western bosket of Schönbrunn Palace Park is the Great Schönbrunn Palm House, which was commissioned by Emperor Franz Joseph I. in 1880 and built in the late historicist style. Schönbrunn Zoo, the oldest existing zoo in the world, is also located in the western part of Schönbrunn Palace Park. It was laid out by the Habsburg Emperor Franz I. in 1752 in a circular shape with an octagonal Baroque centre pavilion on 17 hectares of land. Schönbrunn Palace Park, Palm House and Zoo is open to visitors all year round.
Zahel Weingut & Heuriger
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The Zahel winery is located on Mauer's main square, where Richard Zahel recognised the potential of the Wiener Gemischter Satz about 30 years ago. Today, the Demeter Zahel winery is run organically by Alexander Zahel in the 4th generation. The Wiener Gemischter Satz Nußberg DAC with 13% alcohol by volume contains the grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer. It has a fruity, elegant flavour with a slight spiciness and subtle minerality and a long finish. Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC is the oldest 'wine variety' in Vienna, as in the 19th century, people favoured noble grape varieties such as Riesling, Rotgipfler, Pinot Blanc and Traminer, which were planted together with other white varieties in the vineyard and the harvested grapes were processed together in the cellar. The different flowering times of the individual grape varieties prevented a total failure of the harvest due to adverse weather conditions at flowering time.
