What's Nearby
Getting Around

Restaurants
There are plenty of great eateries nearby, including Schöne Perl, which has become the pearl of the neighborhood. The fare is tasty, with a lot of vegetarian options and an attentive staff. Cash only. Los Mexikas is the place to go for Mexican food in the heart of Vienna. The cozy, vibrant colorful space makes the whole experience even more appealing. If you prefer Korea to Mexico, family-run Kokos is waiting for you around the corner— the food is truly authentic and the ingredients are fresh.
Bars
Hammond Bar has great cocktails in an intimate space, where the atmosphere is subdued and relaxed. Known mostly to locals is Katscheli Cafe and Bar at Karmelitermarkt. The bar is small, staff is friendly, drinks will not disappoint. For another local spot and some lovely live jazz, head to Zwe. It’s a twee club with a big sound and lively atmosphere.
