Vienna Coffee Houses are now UNESCO World Heritage
Not only is the historic center of Vienna on the UNESCO World Heritage list, from this week onwards also Viennas Coffee House Culture has been declared a Cultural World Heritage. Today the around 1000 coffee house owners can harvest what their forefathers have invented and cultivated over the last 3 centuries. So - another reason for this tiny price increase...
Viennas coffee house culture was at its peak about 100 years ago at the beginning of the 20th century, when it turned into a hot spot for leading writers of the time, living and writing there. quite obviously their work was commonly referred to as coffee house literature. Today this culture does not exist anymore, but still coffee houses are an important institution in the every day life of many Viennese. And, with this latest award, it will continue to do so for many more years...

Only hours to go! This weekend the first Christmas Markets in Vienna will be opened!
The weather prepares for it too, it'y very typical for November currently: grey, a bit foggy, slightly wet! And the temps will lower accordingly within hours!
So wrap yourself in a heavy coat, get warm boots and start your stroll to try out the wonderful Gluhwein and Punsch!
Prost!
