We had a late dinner after a concert at the Musikverein. The attention was agreeable without interfering with our privacy.

Das Café Schwarzenberg, 1861 eröffnet und damit das älteste Ringstraßencafé Wiens, bewahrt die Kaffeehauskultur in ihrer wohlgesetzten Grandezza: hohe Decken, Kronleuchter, Zeitungen aus aller Welt und ein Tempo, das der Stadt eine Pause gönnt.

Vernissagen, Konzerte und Lesungen fügen dem Besuch jene kultivierte Note hinzu, die Wien so selbstverständlich beherrscht.
