Café Central

The Verdict

Cafe Central, one of the most iconic cafés in Vienna, known for its grand interior and historical significance. It was a favourite spot for intellectuals and artists like Sigmund Freud and Leon Trotsky. Long lines to enter. I found it to be very touristic and average at best.

Then, like today, the legendary literature café was a meeting point for all ages, regular guests, Viennese locals and visitors.
