Vienna, often celebrated as the City of Coffee, boasts a vibrant culture of outdoor cafés. These charming establishments are an integral part of the city's social and cultural fabric, offering locals and tourists alike a unique blend of history, relaxation, and culinary delight.

The tradition of Viennese coffee houses dates back centuries, and their open-air counterparts continue this legacy, allowing patrons to enjoy their coffee amidst the picturesque streets and historic architecture of Vienna. Whether nestled in a bustling square or a quiet side street, these outdoor cafés provide the perfect setting to savor a meticulously brewed cup of coffee, indulge in a slice of Sachertorte, and immerse oneself in the city's enchanting atmosphere.

Since October 2011 the "Viennese Coffee House Culture" is listed as "Intangible Cultural Heritage" in the Austrian inventory of the "National Agency for the Intangible Cultural Heritage", a part of UNESCO. The Viennese coffee house is described in this inventory as a place, "where time and space are consumed, but only the coffee is found on the bill."
