There's something beautifully endearing about Vienna, and it's the cafés. It's probably been said a thousand times, and it'll be said ad infinitum; that's no bad thing.
Café culture in Vienna is about surrounding yourself in comforting stasis. Close your eyes and you can imagine sharing your table, through time, with a bohemian writer, beat poet or plotting intellectuals. Open your eyes and you're back to sharing the café with ladies who lunch, retirees who linger and tourists that dare not afford the lure of Café Sacher.
