Things to Do in Vienna for First-Time Visitors

Vienna, the cultural heart of Austria, is a city filled with rich history, stunning architecture, and world-renowned music. As the capital city, Vienna offers a wide range of activities and sights for every type of traveler. For first-time visitors, knowing where to begin can be overwhelming. With a blend of historic landmarks, vibrant art scenes, and delightful culinary experiences, here’s your guide to the best things to do in Vienna.

1. Visit Schönbrunn Palace

One of the top things to do in Vienna is visiting Schönbrunn Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the former summer residence of the Habsburgs. This Baroque palace is a magnificent example of imperial grandeur, with its 1,441 rooms, including the famous Hall of Mirrors, where Mozart performed as a child. The beautifully landscaped gardens, Gloriette, and the world’s oldest zoo, Tiergarten Schönbrunn, offer plenty to explore.

For those who love history and architecture, a tour of the palace interiors provides fascinating insights into royal life in Austria. Don’t forget to take a leisurely stroll through the palace gardens and enjoy the breathtaking views of Vienna from the Gloriette.

2. Explore St. Stephen’s Cathedral

St. Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom), located in the heart of Vienna’s city center, is one of the most iconic landmarks in the city. Its Gothic and Romanesque architecture is simply awe-inspiring, with its soaring spires and intricate design. First-time visitors will be impressed by the cathedral’s stunning interior, featuring ornate altars, sculptures, and beautiful stained glass windows.

If you’re up for a bit of exercise, climbing the 343 steps of the South Tower rewards you with panoramic views of Vienna’s skyline. This is one of the must-see things to do in Vienna for anyone interested in history, art, and architecture.

3. Take a Stroll Around the Ringstrasse

The Ringstrasse is Vienna’s grand boulevard, which circles the city’s historic center. A leisurely walk along the Ringstrasse is a perfect way to see some of Vienna’s most famous buildings and landmarks. Along the route, you’ll encounter the majestic Vienna State Opera, the Hofburg Palace, the Austrian Parliament Building, and the Vienna City Hall (Rathaus).

You can either walk or take a tram ride around the Ringstrasse to soak in the beauty of these impressive structures. As you explore, you’ll get a feel for Vienna’s unique blend of old-world charm and modern vibrancy.

4. Experience the Vienna State Opera

For music lovers, one of the most memorable things to do in Vienna is experiencing a performance at the Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper). Vienna is synonymous with classical music, and the opera house is one of the most prestigious venues in the world. Whether you’re an opera aficionado or a first-time visitor, attending a live performance is a cultural experience you won’t want to miss.

If you’re short on time or tickets are unavailable, you can still join a guided tour of the Vienna State Opera to learn about its rich history and architecture.

5. Indulge in Viennese Coffeehouse Culture

No trip to Vienna is complete without experiencing the city’s famed coffeehouse culture. These historic cafes are an integral part of Vienna’s social life and provide a perfect place to relax while enjoying a cup of rich, aromatic coffee. Café Central, Café Sacher, and Café Demel are among the most famous coffeehouses in the city.

While you’re there, treat yourself to a slice of Sachertorte, a rich chocolate cake that’s a Viennese specialty. Visiting these cafes is not just about the coffee—it’s about immersing yourself in the local culture and taking a moment to savor the elegance of Vienna.

6. Discover the Belvedere Palace and Museum

Another gem in Vienna is the Belvedere Palace, a Baroque masterpiece that houses one of Austria’s most important art collections. The Belvedere consists of two palaces—the Upper and Lower Belvedere—set in beautifully manicured gardens.

Inside the Upper Belvedere, you’ll find works by Austrian artists such as Gustav Klimt, including his famous painting “The Kiss.” For art enthusiasts, this museum offers a chance to explore a vast collection spanning from the Middle Ages to contemporary art. Even if you’re not an art lover, the palace gardens are worth a visit for their beauty and tranquility.

7. Explore Naschmarkt

Vienna’s Naschmarkt is a bustling and vibrant marketplace that has been a culinary hub for centuries. As a first-time visitor, a visit to Naschmarkt is a feast for the senses. With over 100 stalls offering everything from fresh produce to exotic spices, meats, cheeses, and street food, it’s a great place to experience the diverse flavors of Vienna.

Whether you’re in the mood for a light snack or a full meal, Naschmarkt has something for everyone. On Saturdays, the flea market section adds even more charm, with an eclectic mix of antiques and vintage items.

8. Visit the MuseumsQuartier

The MuseumsQuartier (MQ) is one of the largest cultural districts in the world, and it’s a must-visit destination for art lovers. Located in the heart of Vienna, MQ is home to several renowned museums, including the Leopold Museum and the Museum of Modern Art (MUMOK).

The MuseumsQuartier also hosts various festivals, events, and performances throughout the year, making it a lively and dynamic part of Vienna’s cultural scene. Even if you don’t visit the museums, the surrounding area is a vibrant space for socializing, shopping, and relaxing.

Conclusion

Café Sacher Vienna

29.01.2023

If you're in Vienna, you can't miss trying Sachertorte. This chocolate dessert is a symbol of the Austrian capital. Café Sacher is a typical Viennese café with a beautiful interior and delicious pastries. There is always a crowd of tourists standing in front of the café to try it. It is located opposite the Opera House building in the center of the city. In the elegant red interior, my friend and I tried Sachertorte with apricot filling and Viennese-style coffee. They also serve other delicacies here but for our first visit here we had to reach for a classic. Apparently, the recipe for this cake is closely guarded here, and this dessert was eaten by all the celebrities. The cake was heavily chocolate, with a dark glaze and whipped cream. The décor is all red, with paintings and crystal chandeliers, and classical music flies. One of the nicest cafes I've had the opportunity to be in.

[uberstip]

Salah satu alasan utama orang menahan diri untuk ga traveling adalah duit. Ga peduli senista apa cara kamu traveling, jalan-jalan tetep butuh duit. There is no vacation without a bill. Tidak ada cara untuk menghindarinya. Tidak ada tiket pesawat dan akomodasi yang FREE!

Bahkan saat menang undian, tetap ada biaya yang harus keluar dari kantong sendiri. Jika ada orang bilang kamu bisa traveling tanpa duit, dia pasti gadun. Bisa juga dia ingin mengajakmu ‘join’, ‘Apakah anda punya mimpi? Ingin punya mobil mewah?’

‘Don’t ever say ‘I can’t afford it’ but ask yourself ‘How can I afford it?’

Sebagai guru finansial yang sering galau, berikut saya berikan tips menambah penghasilan, memotong pengeluaran yang ga perlu, dan menyisihkannya untuk traveling. Semoga dengan tips ini, kamu bisa bersenang-senang tanpa harus jatuh miskin.

1. Jangan kebanyakan nyemil. Selain bikin gendut, cemilan ternyata menguras dompet diam-diam. Kita berpikir Doritos dan Beng-Beng merupakan duit kecil, ga masalah. Tapi bayangkan bila nyemil sudah menjadi hobi. Bayangkan bila duit snack sehari 20 rebu, sebulan sudah 600 rebu, 50 tahun kemudian sudah 360 juta, bayangkan! Semua yang kecil bisa menjadi besar.

Apalagi bila cemilanmu papan atas, kayak Irvins, Garret, dan Ritter Sport. Lumayan kalo nyemilnya dikurangin, lalu disisihkan untuk ‘tabungan traveling’. Keuntungan lainnya, perutmu jadi lebih six pack.

2. Jual barang-barangmu yang tak terpakai. Jual sepatu dan tasmu yang cuma menghiasi rak. Saya biasa menjual winter coat dan sepatu yang sudah sering dipakai. Lalu beli model lain saat traveling berikutnya. Nilai tambahnya, fashion kita pun jadi ga terlihat itu-itu saja. Jatuhnya sama aja si, tapi ga papa sekali-sekali #labil #tipsgagal

3. Kurangin Ngopi di Cafe dan Order Bubble Tea via Go-Food. Secangkir kopi di Starbucks, bisa kamu ganti dengan se-pack kopi sachet buat sebulan. Segelas Pearl Milk Tea di Cha Time, bisa kamu ganti dengan Teh susu kental onde-onde.

Ya saya tau, rasanya berbeda, tapi kan ga selamanya. Setelah selesai dengan misi traveling, kamu bisa melanjutkan ngopi mewahmu kembali. Biaya minum kekinian dialihkan untuk traveling. Kalo lagi kepingin banget, belilah hanya saat ada promo cashback atau buy 1 get 1!

Saat nafsu tak tertahankan, mulailah buat video perbandingan di imajinasimu. Mana yang lebih enak, Caramel Macchiato atau ngemut Gelato diantara reruntuhan Romawi?

4. Berdaganglah. Cari tambahan penghasilan via online. Jual apa saja yang bisa kamu jual. Jual diri bila perlu. Maksudnya, jual tenaga dan pikiran yang ada didirimu. Di kotamu ada Uniqlo, buka jastip ke luar kota via Tokopedia. Dropship, reseller, beri nilai tambah. Profit sedikit, lama-lama menjadi bukit.

Jangan ngeluh susah, ga ada waktu, takut gak laku, gak ada yang mau. Shut up and sell! Jualanlah sampai kamu lupa siapa dirimu!

When you get everything you need, you will die of boredom. So enjoy the Good Fight!

– Paulo Coelho

5. Stop beli Fashion bermerek, Skin Care, dan Kosmetik mahal. Kurangi pembelian konsumtif yang sebenarnya ga perlu-perlu amat. Kalo belum punya income besar, jangan pinter boros-boros. Bukan berarti ga boleh gaya, tapi tundalah hidup mewah demi pengalaman di dunia baru. Itu.

Fashion is about how it looks, not how much it costs. You can pay millions for your outfit and still look weird. Style cannot be bought.

Ada yang bilang kecantikan tidak hanya datang dari luar. Yes, it’s Bullshit. Tapi ga papa, stop perawatan wajah sementara. Yang penting kamu tetap olahraga, makan sehat dan tidur cukup. Oppa yakin kamu akan tetap sensual seiring bertambahnya umur. Karena pada dasarnya semua wanita tetap cantik dengan ciri khasnya masing-masing. *Gombal minta jatah.

Menyisihkan pengeluaran kecil yang tanpa kita sadari memiliki porsi besar. Pengiritan memang ga enak, semua butuh pengorbanan. Namun jika traveling berarti bagimu, kamu akan rela membayar harganya. Mimpimu keliling dunia menjadi prioritas yang bisa kamu wujudkan. Train your spirit, don’t cut your dream!

Do it while you can! Travel is fun and it might save our world.

The people of the world are delightful, and the planet we share is spectacular. The only way to understand that is to go and see it for yourself.

Just like what Howard Stark said,

‘No amount of money ever bought a second of time. Tak peduli seberapa banyaknya uang, tidak akan bisa membeli waktu.’

Maaf, Oppa baru bisa update karena sibuk live more, dibanding post more. Boong ding, itu cuma alibi sok keren. Lebih tepatnya, Oppa kelabakan Multitasking. Membagi waktu antara dagang, bersih-bersih rumah, makan, olah raga, kencan buta, nulis dan tidur pules. Semoga tulisan ini bisa mengobati kerinduanmu dan menambah kebencianmu.

Starting a day with Brioche Dorée’s Croissant and Cappuccino while waiting for my train to Vienna

Di pagi yang suhunya drop ke single digit, saya menggeret koper dan melangkahkan kaki ke Hlavní Nádraží Station. Setibanya disana, sambil menunggu keberangkatan menuju Vienna, saya mengunyah Almond Croissant dan menyeruput Cappuccino secara bergantian.

Hangatnya kopi yang bercampur roti di mulut, menjalar hingga ke hati. Sehangat pertemuan, sepahit perpisahan. Goodbye, Prague.

Prague to Vienna by train

Prague to Vienna by Regiojet – 16 Euro | Rp. 258,000

Perjalanan kereta Regiojet dari Praha-Vienna, ditempuh dalam waktu 4 jam. Berbekal tiket online yang saya beli di Omio, saya tinggal menunjukkan e-ticket di ponsel ke konduktor, ga perlu di-print lagi.

Keretanya lumayan nyaman dengan jendela kaca yang besar. Selama perjalanan, saya bisa melihat pemandangan diluar dengan jelas. Yang ga asyik space kakinya, terlalu berdekatan dengan kursi depan. Kadang tanpa sengaja, kaki saya senggol-senggolan dengan penumpang lain. Mana hari itu kursi pada full lagi. Keram-keram dah.

I love being sad on public transportation with my sad music and big window. I think i got OTD – Obsessive Train Disorder

Saya bersebelahan dengan seorang tante-tante, bule berperawakan kurus dan berkacamata. Selagi duduk, saya memperhatikan dia masuk ke kereta sambil membawa tas yang terlihat lusuh dan kresek berisi buah-buahan. Perlahan tapi pasti, dia berada di sejajar dengan saya dan menaruh barang bawaannya ke bagasi di atas tempat duduk.

Berawal dari teguran si tante yang memberi tahu kalo saya menempati kursinya, yaitu kursi dekat jendela. Dengan wajah pura-pura bego, yang tadinya berharap ga bakal ada yang tau dan menempati, saya pindah ke kursi sebelah dan kami pun ngobrol sepanjang perjalanan.

Tadinya saya pikir dia tante gembel yang kurang kasih. Ternyata dia seorang guru yang  berasal dari Canada. Dia sering menjadi volunteer untuk mengajar Bahasa Inggris ke berbagai negara tanpa dibayar. Cukup dibiayai hidup, ongkos makan dan tempat tinggal. ‘Give your heart, but keep your head’ she said.

Don’t judge the book by its cover. Quotes abadi yang memang selalu benar. Dia jauh dari kata gembel, pengetahuannya luas. Kami berbicara banyak, dari tentang destinasi favorit sampai BREAKING NEWS saat itu, pesawat boeing Lion Air yang baru saja jatuh.

Saat itu kita berdua sepakat, kemungkinan besar penyebab jatuhnya pesawat adalah human error. Bisa karena pilot yang salah mengambil keputusan, atau teknisi yang abai sehingga mesin pesawat terjadi kerusakan. Ternyata kita berdua salah.

Dari yang saya baca di Kompas, berdasarkan investigasi terhadap 2 kecelakaan Boeing 737 yang masih berlangsung, sejauh ini diketahui ‘software’ nya yang bermasalah. Sensor pengukur sudut malafungsi, sehingga membuat sistem anti-stall untuk mendorong hidung pesawat mengarah ke bawah. Hal ini yang menyebabkan pilot tak bisa mengendalikan pesawat.

Perbincangan yang membuat perjalanan terasa lebih singkat. Saya pun jadi lupa mengecek iPhone, sehingga baterai tetap awet.

Where do i stay in Vienna?

I have the whole room to myself

Begitu sampai di Vienna, saya langsung menuju Wombats City Hostel, tempat saya menginap. Lokasinya strategis, dekat dengan pusat kota dan metro. Harganya sesuai dengan fasilitas. Hostelnya bersih, ruangannya lapang, lantai kamarnya terbuat dari kayu, lightingnya juga cozy abis. Ditambah waktu itu cuma ada saya seorang di kamar, serasa nyewa rumah di Airbnb. Bahagia itu sederhana *lepas bra

Wombat’s CITY HOSTEL VIENNA Naschmarkt

Dekat dengan pusat kota. Cukup jalan kaki 2 menit dari U-Bahn station dan 14 menit ke Museum Kunsthistoriches.

Free Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, guest kitchen, laundry, and suite bathrooms. Private rooms are also available.

Rechte Wienzeile 35, 1040 Wien, Austria

Price for 1 night: Mixed Dorms 16 Euro | Rp. 258,000

Direction: Keluar melalui pintu exit Kettenbrückengasse Station, belok kiri lalu jalan lurus 100 meter ke Wombat’s

I love to walk and getting lost in the new city. In Vienna, everything is within walking distance

Welcoming Myself to The World’s Most Liveable City 2019

Setelah menaruh koper, saya berjalan santai keliling kota. Saat itu peralihan fall ke winter, dingin dingin nakal. Saya berjalan dengan penuh kekaguman. Arsitektur bangunannya tertata rapi, trotoarnya juga bersih dan lapang. Pretty much all buildings in the city look wonderful.

Terdapat banyak taman dengan pepohonan yang cantik. Ditambah banyaknya tempat untuk refreshing, transportasi umum yang OK dan kriminalitas yang rendah, Ga heran, gelar kota ternyaman dunia yang dipegang Melbourne 7 tahun berturut-turut, berhasil direbut.

How to get around Vienna

Vienna memiliki jaringan transportasi publik yang mumpuni. Bus, Tram, dan Kereta bawah tanah membuat saya bepergian dengan cepat ke tiap sudut kota. Murah, bersih, dan aman, gak over crowded.

If you’re tired of walking around, you can take the underground trains, trams or buses

With this ticket you can go anywhere, you can use all public transportation in Vienna for 1 day. You can buy it from automatic ticket machines at most underground stations. Don’t forget to validate it before you use it for the first time

The city is safe with a fantastic infrastructure of buses, trams, and trains which are running on time and can take you everywhere around the town

Single Ticket-nya seharga 2.60 Euro | Rp. 42,000. Jika ingin bepergian ke banyak tempat dalam satu hari, kamu bisa membeli 24 hours ticket seharga 8 Euro. Dengan tiket ini, kamu bebas kemana saja dalam sehari, naik turun bus, tram, U-Bahn (subway), dan S-Bahn (local train).

Kamu bisa membeli tiketnya di mesin penjual otomatis, ga perlu nyiapin koin karena mesinnya support pembayaran dengan Kartu Kredit. Jangan lupa mem-validate tiket, sebelum kamu menggunakannya pertama kali. Info lebih lengkap, klik di link ini wien.gv.at

Metro U-Bahn beroperasi Senin – Jumat dari jam 5 pagi sampai 12 malam.

Khusus Weekend, Jumat – Minggu buka sampai 24 jam!

Vienna is extremely liveable. There are 5 underground train lines, and an excellent tram and bus service. The underground usually comes every 2 to 3 minutes, and runs 24 hours at weekends

Seperti di beberapa kota Eropa lainnya, sistem naik turun transportasi umumnya berdasarkan kejujuran. Ga ada gate buat scan tiket kayak di MRT Jakarta. Namun bukan berarti ga ada yang ngecek. Petugas bisa tiba-tiba muncul kayak Polisi, memintamu menunjukkan Fahrschein – tiket sah yang sudah tervalidate. Buat yang senang diborgol bule, kamu boleh mencoba naik metro tanpa tiket.

A laid back city full of culture and a sense of style. Whether you’re just wandering the streets or you’re devouring art in museums, you’re sure to find something you love about Vienna

Vienna has a lot of things to do and see. Banyak museum keren, gereja bersejarah, gedung opera elegan, cafe dan resto super nikmat, sampai istana spektakuler. Berikut 13 aktivitas menyenangkan yang membuat saya terlena di Vienna:

1. Savouring Apple Strudel and Wiener Melange at Cafe Mozart

It has an impressive architecture on the inside, it looks like a little palace. You feel like a royal just sitting inside

A little bit pricey but worth it

You can enjoy a good view in the terrace

Setelah lelah mengitari kota, saya menghangatkan diri di Cafe Mozart. Salah satu tempat nongkrong paling kece di Vienna. Cafe klasik yang berdiri sejak tahun 1794 dan pernah menjadi tempat syuting film ‘The Third Man’.

Begitu masuk, culture of luxury nya kerasa banget. Dekorasinya begitu menawan. Lampu hias, cermin, kaca jendela besar dengan horden menghiasi ruangan dengan lighting yang hangat. It feels like a scene from romantic movie. Dining is an entertainment for them. 

The almighty Viennese Coffee ‘A Wiener Melange’. A small espresso with half steamed milk and froth. It’s similar to a Cappuccino. The difference is in the milder coffee and sweeter foam. It’s served on a silver tray with sugar, a spoon and a small glass of water

Tak lama setelah memesan, Wiener Melange pun tiba. Disajikan secara kolosal di atas nampan perak bersama gula dan segelas air putih. Sekilas tak ada yang berbeda dari Cappuccino khas Vienna ini. Campuran espresso dengan susu yang baru di steam dan foam.

The glass of water traditionally served with coffee is meant to cleanse the palate. The face-down coffee spoon on top of the glass is a sign that the glass has been freshly poured.

A remnant of Habsburg etiquette

Tapi setelah mencicipinya, saya baru tau yang membuatnya unik, foam-nya. Kerasa tebel dan manis di mulut. So creamy! Membekasnya tahan lama. Seperti kecupan mantan terindah.

Café Mozart

The cosmopolitan Viennese coffee house behind the Vienna State Opera. Popular with musicians from the opera house & where Graham Greene wrote The Third Man

Coffee specialties, Cakes, Pastries and Classic Viennese cuisine.

Albertinaplatz 2, 1010 Wien, Austria

Hours: Senin – Minggu 8AM–12AM

Menu and Price: Original Wiener Apfelstrudel 7 Euro | Rp. 113,000. Wiener Melange 5.70 Euro | Rp. 92,000. Pattiserie Menu

Direction: Cafe Mozart Google Maps Location

A classic Austria’s national delights: Sticky Apfelstrudel! A warm buttery pastry stuffed with gooey slices of cooked apples, cinnamon filling, and topped off with sprinkling of sugar. One of the fluffiest apple i’ve ever tasted. You can’t leave Vienna without trying it

Ga berapa lama kemudian, makanannya datang. Apfelstrudel! Semacam pie berisi irisan apel manis yang sebelumnya dimasak bersama saus mentega dan cinnamon, diakhiri dengan taburan gula halus diatasnya.

Disajikan hangat dengan Vanilla Sauce khas Cafe Mozart. I felt my soul instantly dance as i took the first bite. Rasanya nyesss di hati. Kulit luarnya tipis dan rapuh, menyatu sempurna dengan asam apple dan manis Vanilla. Sampe ada om-om bule yang duduk sebelah saya berkata:

‘That sure does look tasty’. Mungkin gara-gara dia liat ekspresi saya saat mengunyahnya sampe merem melek.

‘Hell, yeah. This is the main reason why i came to Vienna’ ujar saya melebih-lebihkan.

‘Well, no doubt about that’

Sambil ngunyah, kami sempat berbasa-basi kecil. Om-om bertubuh gempal dan berparas seperti Steve Wozniak ini ternyata turis juga. Dia makan sendirian seperti saya. Bedanya dia terlihat seperti pensiunan yang bahagia, sementara saya bujang lapuk yang merana. Dia berasal dari Amrik, dan tinggal di hotel bintang lima, sementara saya dari Sleman dan tinggal di hostel rame-rame.

Sambil meminum segelas liquor, dengan excited dia menunjukkan foto-foto lukisan yang baru saja dia ambil di Albertina museum. Quotes yang paling saya ingat keluar dari mulutnya adalah ‘Sometimes You don’t have to undertand every work of art, you just need to appreciate it’. Sama seperti hidup, kadang kita ga harus tau dan mengerti segala keajaiban, kamu hanya perlu mensyukurinya.

Setelah selesai makan, saya pamit duluan untuk melanjutkan petualangan. Sebelum keluar saya sempat melihat-lihat cake dan pastry yang dipajang di display kaca. Gileeee.. semuanya bikin ngilerrr. Pingin banget nyobain satu-satu. Tapi apa yang akan terjadi dengan pipi yang hina ini?

2. Admiring St. Stephens Cathedral

There are 2 towers in this cathedral. The north tower which is accessible by elevator and the south tower which is accessible by stairs. The south tower offers better view because it is higher and has an unobstructed 360 degrees view of the city

It has four towers. The tallest of these is the south tower at 136.44 meters

You can pay 5 EUR to climb the several hundred steps of the south tower. You’ll get a birds eye view of the city

Gereja bergaya Gothic Romawi ini telah berdiri sejak abad ke-12. Struktur klasik yang sekarang dikelilingi oleh pertokoan modern. Gerejanya cantik luar dalam. Interiornya benar-benar elegan. Saat itu saya datang malam hari. Lampu hias bersinar indah diantara langit-langit berkubah dengan lengkungan yang tinggi.

Inside the church, you’ll see an ornately decorated church with high archways, vaulted ceilings, and a plethora of statues and religious paintings. It makes me feel like i’m in another time period. Magnificent!

Patung dan lukisan bersejarah menghiasi kekokohan pilar penyanggah. Samar-samar tercium aroma dupa yang khas, melengkapi kemegahan sakral yang menenangkan. Kalo punya banyak waktu kamu bisa keatas, ngeliat pemandangan kota dari atas tower. Kamu juga bisa kebawah tanah, melihat makam yang dibangun pada zaman romawi kuno.

Domkirche St. Stephan

Medieval Roman Catholic place of worship with an ornate spire, catacombs & a treasury museum

Stephansplatz 3, 1010 Wien, Austria

Hours: Senin – Sabtu 6AM – 10PM, Minggu 7AM – 10PM

Entrance Tickets: Visitors can enter the cathedral free of charge. However, there are paid access areas (Catacomb 6 Euro and South Tower 5 Euro). The central path leading to the altar is strictly for people that pay a fee.

Direction: St. Stephen’s Cathedral Google Maps Location

Beautiful cathedral right in the heart of Vienna. Amazing church with an incredible architecture. One can spend a lot of time taking pictures of its lovely exterior. I love its hulking, Gothic silhouette, so classic art deco

3. Explore the hidden street and spot the Anchor Clock

A 100 year clock working based on the position of sun. This clock was built as an ornament for a bridge between two office buildings. An interesting monument which shows the time with different figures

Beautiful secret spot in Vienna. Menyusuri jalan dan gang yang saling bersinggungan,  tiba-tiba mata auto-focus ke jam gadang yang unik. Jam berdesain Art Nouveau ini diciptakan oleh pematung Franz Matsch pada tahun 1914.

Jam yang disponsori oleh Anker Insurance Company sebagai kontribusi mereka terhadap budaya Vienna. Itulah mengapa disebelah kiri atas ada patung bayi, dan sebelah kanan tengkorak. 2 figur yang melambangkan hidup dan mati. Pengingat akan pentingnya asuransi jiwa. Ternyata ada iklan terselubung.

Anker Clock

Elaborate, historic clock with copper accents & figures that move around on the hour

Hoher Markt 10-11, 1010 Wien, Austria

Open 24 Hours

There is very beautiful fountain near the clock dedicated to Jesus parents wedding

Selain itu, jam ini memiliki 12 figur bersejarah. Penggambaran tokoh-tokoh yang berjasa bagi Vienna di masa lalu. Tiap jamnya mereka berotasi, bergantian menarsiskan diri. Konon, jika mendengar dentangannya tepat jam 12 malam, jodohmu sudah dekat. Maaf, Oppa ngarang.

4. Treat yourself a Wiener Schnitzel at Filglmuller

It was back then that Johann Figlmüller opened a small wine tavern on Wollzeile, right behind St. Stephen’s Cathedral. 100 years later, it stood for the Viennese way of life. A home to mouth-watering Crisp Wiener Schnitzel

Restoran tradisional khas Austria yang buka sejak 110 tahun yang lalu. Wiener Schnitzel mereka telah melegenda dan menjadi magnet bagi turis seperti Oppa untuk datang mencicipi.

Vienna is full of elegance and fancy restaurants. Glamorous are so normal here. Every cafes and restaurants are just like a place where Kim Shin and Ji Eun Tak have a date in Canada

Saya dipandu waiter menempati kursi yang berada di ruang bawah tanah. Nuansa klasik yang elegan begitu terasa. Atapnya terbuat dari batu bata dengan kipas yang tak dihidupkan, tampaknya cuma penghias. Terdapat lemari kayu berisi gelas kaca dan botol wine kosong, tampaknya cuma hiasan. Kenapa banyak hiasan tak berguna di tempat ini?

Kemudian saya melepas winter coat dan menggantungnya di cantelan khusus yang berada di dekat pintu. Entah kenapa saat melakukannya saya merasa keren. Ini persis kaya di film-film mafia jadul. Jiwa John Wick Excomunicado saya pun bangkit!

Figlmüller

Dining rooms with wood paneling, exposed bricks & wrought iron, serving classic Viennese cuisine

Bäckerstraße 6, 1010 Wien, Austria

Hours: Senin – Minggu 11:30AM–11:30PM

Menu and Price: Wiener Schnitzel of Veal 20.5 Euro | Rp. 330,000. Local sparkling wine 5.5 Euro | Rp. 89,000. Figlmüller House Specialty

Direction: Google Maps Location

Wienerschnitzel is a thin veal cutlet, which is pan-fried. Served with a slice of lemon. You can order with french fries and BBQ sauce on it. I try the plain one without any sauce, i just wanna taste that meat without any interruption. Yes, it’s slightly tender, salty and tasty

Tak lama setelah mengamati menu dan memesan, Wienerschnitzel pun datang. Bentuknya sekilas mirip lumpia kegemukan, namun mereka dua makhluk yang berbeda. Roti goreng coklat keemasan ini berisi potongan daging sapi muda. Disajikan dengan lemon untuk kita peras diatasnya. Saya sengaja ga pake kentang, biar ga kekenyangan.

Sparkling Champagne that can’t stop ‘bubbly’, holy molly!

Dengan pisau di tangan kanan dan garpu ditangan kiri, saya memotong buntalan surga ini dan memasukkannya ke mulut. Nyam! Asin-asin empuk, garing-garing seger. Lapisan rotinya crunchy dan buttery, dagingnya super chewy. Ditemani sparkling champagne yang ga berhenti berbuih, ngenesnya abadi.

5. Stroll along Kärntner Straße 

It’s all lit up and gorgeous at night. Vienna has a glamour shopping streets with restaurants and coffee houses

Pusat pertokoan yang berdiri sejak jaman Romawi kuno dan tetap bertahan selama masa perang dunia ke-2. Surga shopping sampe kaki letoy. Zona pejalan kaki yang nyaman untuk jalan-jalan, cuci mata, tengok kanan kiri, kepingin, liat price tag, ga jadi beli, repeat. ‘Look at all the buildings! There’s so much price tag!’ 

The heart of the vibrant Vienna. From Sank Stephan to the Opera, a diversified mix of historical buildings, traditional shops and stylish flagship stores. They are all wonderful!

Selain fashion merek ternama, di shopping street ini juga banyak produk lokal yang kece. Pernak-pernik Mozart menghiasi pertokoan cantik ala bangunan bersejarah. Mulai dari gantungan kunci sampai ‘Mozartkugeln’ – praline unik yang terbuat dari campuran Nougat dan Marzipan. Karena oleh-oleh teromantis yang bisa kita berikan kepada orang tersayang adalah makanan. ‘Baby, i brought you food’

Vienna is the capital of Austria and the smallest of the 9 federal provinces. The official language of Austria is German, although most people speak English

Kärntner Straße

Great place to shop and stroll

Kärntner Str. 27, 1010 Wien, Austria

Direction: U-Bahn U1 und U3 Station Stephansplatz Google Maps Location

The boulevard of Vienna. The most picturesque shopping street in Vienna. Classical Europe at its best

6. Take a peek at Vienna Opera House

The building looks stunning at night. One of the largest Opera in the world. Every year the prestigious Vienna Opera Ball takes place

Malam itu, saya ga sempat masuk dan menonton Opera. Lumayan nyesel si, namun mengamati bangunannya dari luar sudah cukup membuat saya terpukau. Gedungnya begitu prestisius. Tempat dimana musik, tari, dan akting menyatu dalam harmony dan menciptakan dunianya sendiri.

Dibuka pada tahun 1869 dengan pertunjukan megah Mozart yang menampilkan salah satu karyanya yang paling terkenal ‘Don Giovanni’. Sempat hancur selama perang dunia ke-2, gedung ini dibangun ulang dan menjadi kuil suci warga Vienna.

Ribuan artis dan tamu terhormat, datang untuk menyaksikan langsung seriosa, balet, dan drama yang tak berkesudahan. Opera ini pun menjadi semakin terkenal, semenjak jadi tempat syuting tembak-tembakan Ethan Hunt di Mission Impossible.

This is a place of worship for those who want to experience a famously intense Viennese opera show

Wiener Staatsoper

World-famous opera house offering major productions, original decor & multilingual guided tours

Direction: Google Maps Location

Vienna is a charming city, with detailed architecture and dreamy streets which look all too inviting. Pretty much all buildings in the city look wonderful

Berjalan menikmati suasana kota di malam hari memang beda. Saya menganga melihat keindahan yang terpancar dari gadis berambut pirang diantara lampu-lampu jalan. Mungkin karena efek remang-remang. 

Dari gedung-gedung, pusat perbelanjaan, cafe, dan resto, semuanya terlihat elegan. Jalanannya pun sepi. Tidak ada keramaian yang menyesakkan seperti di Paris.

7. Explore the famous Schönbrunn Palace

Take a pose behind the buttermilk yellow building

Istana yang dulunya merupakan kediaman musim panas dari Empress Elizabeth of Austria, Permaisuri Sisi. Permaisuri yang terkenal dengan kecantikannya yang di luar batas akal. Berambut panjang sampai ke tanah, dan berpinggang kecil karena keseringan make korset.

Karena sarat budaya dan sejarah, istana ini menjadi monumen UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site. Merubahnya menjadi destinasi wisata yang paling banyak dikunjungi oleh turis.

Pagi itu, kabut melayang diantara langit abu-abu mutiara. Setelah menukarkan tiket dengan menunjukkan Vienna Pass, saya masuk ke dalam Istana untuk melihat seperti apa kediaman Permaisuri dan Raja Habsburg di masa lalu.

Selain Permaisuri Sisi, tokoh penting lain yang pernah tinggal disini adalah Maria Theresa. Satu-satunya wanita yang menjadi penguasa di kerajaan Habsburg. Kecerdasan, keanggunan, dan kharismanya membuat seisi istana tunduk. Secara strategis, dia menikahkan 16 anaknya untuk menghindari perang. Kekaisaran Austria pun tetap aman selama lebih dari 600 tahun.

Dengan menetapkan aturan ketat di istana, seperti tata cara berperilaku dan berpenampilan, diet dan perawatan tubuh ala ala, anak-anaknya selalu terlihat cantik dan menawan. Kecantikan yang membawa Pangeran dari berbagai negara datang kesini untuk melamar.

The gardens surrounding the palace are really beautiful. Wandering around this palace is a pure pleasure! DI istana yang indah saya berimajinasi Princess Sisi mengendarai kuda mengelilingi taman.

Sayangnya didalam ga boleh foto. Ruangannya bener-bener noble, kayak kisah dongeng putri raja. Pilar, wallpaper, karpet merah, lampu hias, dan perabotannya semua terkesan mewah. Istananya cantik luar dalam. Mozart pernah diundang untuk perform disini waktu berusia 6 tahun. Konon, ada lebih dari 1.400 ruangan, tetapi saya hanya boleh memasuki sekitar 22 ruangan.

Saya memasuki kamar pribadi, ruang ganti dan ruang ‘fitnessnya’ Sisi. Sisir berwarna perak dengan cermin raksasa menghiasi ruangan. Dari sini terlihat, bagaimana cara Sisi menjaga dan merawat kecantikannya.

Banyak lukisan Sisi yang dipajang di dinding. Terlihat sekali, suaminya Frans Josef tergila-gila padanya. Pangeran yang menikahi Sisi, sewaktu umurnya masih 16 tahun. Pernikahan dini yang diawali oleh cinta pada pandangan pertama.

Ada juga ruangan yang menunjukkan cocaine pipe yang pernah dipakai Sissi. Dia menggunakan kokain yang dihisap dengan pipa untuk menahan sakit karena menopause. Kisah sisi berakhir dengan tragis. Pada tahun 1898, di umurnya yang ke-61 dia ditikam diantara keramaian di Geneva oleh  anarkis dari Italy, Luigi Lucheni. Kematian yang membuat seluruh kerajaan mengalami duka mendalam.

It was pleasing in the morning

Setelah selesai main di dalam, saatnya main diluar. Saya menelusuri taman yang indah. Di peralihan musim gugur ke musim dingin, daun-daun telah menguning dan berjatuhan. Pepohonan berjejer rapi diantara keanggunan istana. Tempat terbaik untuk adegan patah hati.

Kerennya lagi di dalam istana ini ada kebun binatang tertua di Eropa. Aksesnya gratis jika kamu memiliki Vienna Pass. Royal Zoo yang menurut saya kurang Royal. Terlihat kurang terawat dan banyak kandang yang kosong. Katanya si ada Panda dan Koala, tapi hari itu saya ga melihat keberadaan mereka.

Mungkin mereka dipindahkan karena saat itu lagi dingin-dinginnya. Saya menyaksikan berbagai hewan unik dari berbagai negara. Mulai dari gajah afrika, badak India, monyet berbulu, dan burung nakal. Yang paling lucu waktu ngeliat Penguin, dan Beruang Kutub. Lumayan menghibur.

8. Enjoy the perfect Sachertorte at Cafe Sacher

Sachertorte is the classic chocolate cake, topped with a thin layer of apricot jam and a smooth chocolate topping.  The cake is so light and yet so intense. I’m enjoying it very much

Puas mengitari Istana, saatnya ngafe ala istana. Saya mencicipi dessert yang awal mulanya dibuat khusus oleh remaja bernama Franz Sacher untuk Pangeran Von Metternich.

Sachertorte, chocolate cake yang kini menjadi salah satu simbol Vienna. Tak ada sponge cake yang lebih enak selain di Hotel Sacher. Tempat dimana Sachertorte pertama kali dibuat. Sampai sekarang pun masih tetap Handmade – Original. Slogan yang membuat saya akhirnya tiba disini.

Setelah mengamati menu dan memesan, seperti biasa saya connect WiFi dan mengecek ponsel. Tiba-tiba saya melihat doggy melenggang masuk ke dalam cafe. Saat itu saya baru sadar, di Vienna guk guk diperbolehkan menemani tuannya ngemil cantik. Kalo anjing bisa ngomong, saya yakin mereka bahagia dengan kebijakan ini.

Si hitam manis dihidangkan. Ternyata Cake-nya sedikit kering, bukan tipe mousse yang lembut. Sambil mencocol whipped cream yang ada di piring, saya memasukkan potongan cake dengan menggunakan garpu ke mulut. Mmmm… rich bitter sweet chocolate! Creamy-nya whipped cream bercampur sempurna dengan pekatnya Chocolate. Selai Apricotnya juga kerasa banget, bikin seger dan ga eneg.

Saya menutup santapan dengan Ice Chocolate khas Vienna yang disebut Wiener Eisschokolade. One of the best Ice Chocolate i’ve ever tasted. Rich and foamy abis! Tak heran. pipi saya langsung mengembang.

9. Feel the vibe at The Hofburg

Vienna is magical, and it deserves to be the most liveable city in the world. Grand, imposing, ridiculously lavish

Istana kekaisaran dengan arsitektur Baroque dan Classicism. Istana yang kini berubah fungsi menjadi tempat kerja resmi Presiden Austria. Didalamnya juga terdapat Sisi Museum, Imperial Apartments, and Silver Collection.

Karena keterbatasan waktu, saya ga masuk kedalam. Kalo berminat melihat kehidupan Permaisuri Sisi, lengkap dengan souvenir pribadi, perabotan mewah dan sejarah keluarga kerajaan, kamu wajib masuk.

10. Treasure the art at Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien

One of Europe’s premiere fine arts museums. The home of priceless art treasures from five millennia. The building itself is a work of art. It’s gigantic!

The Main Staircase is an outstanding beauty! It’s one of the highlights of Viennese 19th-century architecture. Its focal point is Antonio Canova‘s statue of ‘Thesus Slaying the Centaur’, which is flanked by two imperial lions

Museum dengan koleksi seni tak ternilai dari 5000 tahun yang lalu. Bangunannya sendiri merupakan maha karya seni. Pilar dengan berbagai fresko, patung dan lukisan yang menggambarkan sejarah dengan makna mendalam.

Salah satu daya tarik utama dari museum ini adalah tangga di hall utamanya. Megah nan picturesque! Tangga yang berfokus pada patung Antonio Canova diapit oleh dua singa kekaisaran ‘Thesus Slaying the Centaur’. Di langit-langitnya terdapat lukisan yang menggambarkan kemenangan Renaissance, Epic to the max!

The large ceiling painting by the Hungarian painter Mihàly Munkácsy celebrates ‘The Triumph of the Renaissance’

The twelve lunette paintings are by Hans Makart who portrayed famous artists, while the paintings left and right of the arches are early works by Ernst and Gustav Klimt and Franz Matsch. The area in front of Canova‘s statue is particularly well suited for welcoming your lover with music and dance

Wedding receptions in an imperial setting be like. The gorgeous monumental building it opens an unbelievable world, which stimulates all human senses

It’s located at the center of the 19th century complex. it’s also a meeting point for museum goers and locals. It is decorated with precious materials, differently coloured types of granite and marble, and outstanding stucco work

The hall is paneled with white marble and decorated in gold

Religious art. One of the most famous painting in this Museum. The second of three versions of the biblical Tower of Babel, painted by Pieter Bruegel.

Salah satu lukisan yang paling terkenal di museum ini adalah Tower of Babel, karya Pieter Bruegel. Menara yang sekilas mirip dengan Colosseum. Lukisan religius yang terinspirasi dari Alkitab Kejadian 11:1-9. Penggambaran tentang manusia yang berusaha mendirikan bangunan tinggi agar bisa mencapai surga.

Dalam kisahnya tertulis, Tuhan tidak menyukai niat mereka. Tuhan pun membuat mereka tidak bisa lagi berkomunikasi, dengan cara membuat mereka berbicara dengan bahasa-bahasa yang berbeda. Ada yang ngomong Jawa, ada yang Londo, ada yang Cang Cing Cung. Peristiwa yang menandai munculnya berbagai bahasa di dunia. Karena saling gak ngerti dan selalu salah paham, ga jadi deh bangunannya.

Di jaman Rennaisance, lukisan ini memiliki interpretasi lain. Menara ini sekilas terlihat besar dan kokoh. Namun bila diperhatikan lebih seksama, terlihat sedikit condong ke kiri. Hampir mengancam kota abad pertengahan yang berada di bawahnya. Bisa dibayangkan apa yang akan terjadi bila bangunan tersebut rubuh.

Sama halnya dengan kesuksesan seseorang. Kita bisa mengejar mimpi setinggi langit. Merasa hebat dengan segala harta benda yang dimiliki. Namun semua itu kadang semu dan bisa hilang dalam sekejap mata. Seperti pedang bermata dua. Keangkuhan manusia, akan membawa mereka kepada kehancuran.

The collection is structured in four large areas: funerary cult, cultural history, sculpture and relief and the development of writing

Among the world’s most important collections of Egyptian antiquities. 17 000 objects date from a period of almost 4,000 years, from the Egyptian Predynastic and Early Dynastic periods (ca. 3500 BC) to the early Christian era

Ada beberapa bagian dimana kamu tidak boleh mengambil foto. The room of Bruegel is a must see! Ruangan dengan koleksi lukisan terpenting di dunia. Mulai dari karya Modigliani, Mantegna, Raphael,  Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Giorgione, dan Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Selain itu, terdapat koleksi benda arkeologi dari Mesir seperti peti mati, patung dan peralatan keseharian di jaman Mummy eksis.

11. Take a break at Burggarten

Castle Gardens. Taman bergaya Inggris yang dulunya hanya bisa diakses oleh penghuni istana Habsburg. Sekarang, taman ini menjadi tempat warga lokal melepas penat, merebah di rerumputan, baca buku, scroll timeline, ataupun sekedar make out.

Patung-patung seni, lampu hias klasik, rumah kupu-kupi, dengan gedung konservatori seni nouveau yang indah melengkapi taman ini. Sore itu taman terlihat sepi, mungkin karena udara begitu dingin. Bule lagi pada males keluar, mending ngangetin diri dalem selimut.

The green souls of Vienna with taste of old times. This photogenic park is beautiful. I took a walk and relaxed seeing gorgeous statues, flowers and trees

12. Interpret a painting at Albertina Museum

The Albertina is one of the best museums in the city. It’s housed in one of the old private residence wings of the Habsburg and Hofburg Imperial Palace. It’s most famous for its print collection, which is comprised of over one million prints and 60,000 drawings

Museum yang bertempat di bekas kediaman istana kekaisaran Habsburg. Salah satu dinasti terbesar Eropa abad pertengahan sampai era modern. Lukisan karya seniman ternama seperti Monet, Picasso dan Cezanne dipajang dengan indah di seluruh ruangan.

Tiap lukisan dipajang dengan lighting yang pas dan transisi yang tertata di tiap ruangan. Dari lukisan Monet yang  impresionis, saya dibawa perlahan menuju lukisan realistis dan abstrak ala Picasso.

Karya-karya yang membuatmu berpikir dan harus membaca caption untuk ngerti. Seru si, seperti zaman belum ada gadget, mencari makna tersembunyi dibalik lukisan menjadi hiburan tersendiri.

It’s contains two and a half floors

Childless Millionaire and the Poor Women with Children by Niko Pirosmani, Georgian painter

Childless Millionnaire and The Poor Women with Children. Salah satu lukisan yang membuat saya termenung, potret sepasang suami istri kaya raya yang tidak memiliki keturunan bersua wanita miskin yang memiliki 3 orang anak. Sometimes, you can’t have everything in life.

Amazing museum in the heart of Vienna. Vienna is like Paris without a crazy crowd

Is it worth to buy Vienna Pass?

Jika berencana masuk ke banyak museum dalam waktu singkat, Vienna Pass benar-benar worth it. Ada versi mobile via ponsel, ga perlu repot tuker atau nge-print, tinggal tunjukin atau scan barcode untuk masuk.

Dengan 2 day adult pass, kamu bisa masuk ke Schonbrunn, Hofburg, Belvedere, Albertina, Kunsthistoriches Museum, St. Stephens Cathedral Treasury, Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel, Mozarthaus, Mumok Museum, Madame Tussauds, Danube Tower dan lain-lain. Info lebih lengkap tentang apa saja yang dicover Vienna pass, kamu bisa klik disini BUY VIENNA PASS IN HERE

Walaupun saat itu ga semua bisa saya kunjungi, tapi harganya tetap jauh lebih murah dibandingkan beli tiket masuk satu-satu. Selain menghemat waktu karena ga perlu antri beli tiket lagi, kamu juga bisa lebih fleksibel mau kemana duluan.

13. Eating Nuss Kuss at Cafe Central

The grandest and most popular cafe in Vienna, Cafe Central was founded in 1876

The cafe feels like a time capsule to a pre-WWI atmosphere with a live pianist

Cafe yang setia menemani warga ngopi sampe malem. Budaya ngopi ini sudah begitu kental di Vienna, sampai-sampai masuk UNESCO sebagai ‘National Agency for the Intangible Cultural Heritage’. 

Cafe yang berdiri sejak 140 tahun yang lalu ini juga menjadi tempat favorit para filosofer dan musisi ternama. 2 orang paling terkenal yang pernah makan disini adalah seorang psikoanalis Sigmund Freud dan revolusioner Leon Trotsky

Penemu metode pengobatan penyakit mental dan teori psikologi tentang kepribadian. Freud percaya bahwa peristiwa di masa kecil memiliki pengaruh besar pada kepribadian dewasa seseorang.

Sementara Leon Trotsky adalah politisi sekaligus penulis dan penemu teori Marxist. Salah satu quote-nya yang paling terkenal adalah:

Life is not an easy matter. You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.

Dekorasinya sangat mengesankan. Pilar glossy, lampu hias, dan lukisan seni semua terasa classy. Tempatnya asyik untuk berlama-lama memperhatikan sekitar dan menikmati suasana.

Sebelum pulang, seperti biasa saya membayar dan memberikan tip kepada waiter. Wajahnya terlihat bahagia, dan tanpa saya duga dia berkata ‘Just a moment, sir’. Tak lama kemudian dia kembali dari belakang dan memberikan beberapa bungkus coklat kecil. Wajah saya pun ikut sumringah.

15. Take a wander around Belvedere Palace

Absolutely fabulous! Noble, opulent, artistic palace. The Belvedere is a UNESCO Heritage Site. It has beautiful gardens which connect two historic palaces. It houses great collection of Austrian art, including those of Gustav Klimt. A beautiful palace with an extraordinary collection.

One of the best looking Palaces i’ve ever seen. Istana yang dulunya merupakan kediaman dari Prince Eugene, pangeran sekaligus komandan militer Austria paling sukses dalam sejarah Eropa modern.

Tamannya super luas! Dalam kesunyian pagi, saya tersihir menyaksikan kolam besar yang dihiasi air mancur dan patung seni. Seirama dengan jalan setapak yang dikelilingi pepohonan yang tertata rapi. Noble abis!

Sayangnya saya ga sempat masuk untuk melihat koleksi seni Gustav Klimt, pelukis paling terkenal di Austria. Karyanya identik dengan erotisme tubuh wanita.

The Kiss (Lovers) by Gustav Klimt is the most famous Austrian painting and the highlight of the permanent collection at the Upper Belvedere. It shows a couple swathed in richly embellished robes embracing in a meadow of flowers on the brink of a precipice. The painting dates from 1907/08 at the height of Klimt’s ‘Golden Period’ when the artist developed a new technique of combining gold leaf with oils and bronze paint

Vienna memberikan dunia baru yang membuat saya kagum dan tersenyum. It’s not only the most liveable city on earth, this is city of heaven. Kota elegan yang kaya akan sejarah budaya dan kuliner. Rumah dari musik klasik ala Mozart, museum dan gedung opera yang mengesankan, Apple Strudel dan Chocolate Cake yang membahagiakan. Ditambah kisah nyata putri raja ala Disney, menjadikan Vienna begitu dreamy. 

Nongkrong di cafe, menikmati aroma pastry dan kopi. Mengagumi karya seni di museum super keren. Memperhatikan orang berpakaian dan berjalan diantara gedung-gedung cantik. Membuat saya ingin kesini lagi suatu hari nanti. Vienna seperti Doraemon yang mengajak saya terbang bebas, melebihi indahnya pergaulan bebas.

Terlena di Vienna. Top 15 Things to do Salah satu alasan utama orang menahan diri untuk ga traveling adalah duit. Ga peduli senista apa cara kamu traveling, jalan-jalan tetep butuh duit.

Travel Adventures, Vienna: Day 6

My mother wasn't feeling well, so I had another day of roaming solo. My pursuit of gummies led me to Schwedenplatz, where proof of the good weather lay in the droves of families and school groups lining up for ice cream.

But my true destination was just a few blocks further, in the utopia known as Bärenland (literally translates to Land of Bears).

Idyllic, no? Well, inside was a trove of gummies, and a salesgirl giving free samples of almost everything they offered. Which is not inconsiderable.

Everything was fresh, everything was delicious. I walked out with three bags and will probably go back for more (as gifts, I swear!), and no please don't ask me how I'm going to fit it all in my suitcase.

After I finished, I commenced my true purpose of the day-- Operation Sachertorte.

See, Vienna has a sort of ongoing feud happening in its city. Cafe Demel, former bakers to the Habsburgs, claimed they had THE original sachertorte recipe. But Hotel Sacher also claims they have the original ACTUAL sachertorte recipe. And considering that the hotel is owned by the family of the Sacher dude who made it, well...

So my mission: determine which has the better sachertorte.

First up was Hotel Sacher. Technically, Hotel Sacher Eck, which is their bar/cafe adjoined to the hotel. It also had a gift shop, but was a little less prodigious than Demel’s.

They have a full menu, but I was on a singular mission. Just the sachertorte, and a water. 

There are three main parts of a sachertorte: layers of chocolate cake, apricot jam, and chocolate ganache coating-- usually accompanied by schlagobers (whipped cream). 

Hotel Sacher’s torte had a somewhat dry cake, two apricot layers, and a thick fudgy icing. The icing was pretty stiff, and didn’t split where I wanted it to (ie not where my fork was). It was also so rich that it overpowered everything else. 

I ended up parting the cake from the icing, and ate them separately. Leaving the schlag for the icing was a good call. It lightened the icing just enough to offset the uber-sweetness. Phase 1: Complete.

After that I drifted a bit, and stumbled upon the Literaturmuseum! They had enough English-language translations that I could follow along pretty well. It was basically an overview of Viennese literature across the centuries, from Imperial days to about the 1990s. It was really cool to see how socio-political changes shaped and where depicted by the thinkers and artists. Easily a well-spent 7 euros.

I spent a few hours there, and then moved to Cafe Demel. Mid-afternoon, they were packed, but I managed to snag a table upstairs. Don’t worry, it’s just as beautiful as the ground floor and just as many yummies.

Again, I was a woman on a mission. Commence Phase 2:

This time, I paired it with a gekultischokolade, which was basically a chilled version of their hot chocolate-- it actually paired really well with the sachertorte. The cake at Demel was also dry, so it may as a rule be a crumbly cake. And the icing was softer, but thicker than Sacher’s. Unfortunately, Demel’s torte has only one apricot layer, which came off with the icing when I separated it from the cake. And without the apricot, the cake is kinda... meh.

Results: Hotel Sacher wins!

I walked the Graben again, and this time the weather was fantastic. I got a shot of the Frick bookstore from Day 4, for your reference, and also got some amazing shots of some monuments.

While I was completing Operation Sachertorte, I did a lot of writing, which I continued at the hotel when I returned to my mother. I got about half way through my next original piece, which I’m hoping will fill a submission call later this year. So I felt really accomplished at the end of the day, even if I didn’t do much in the way of official sightseeing.

Sachertorte

Chocolate Ice Cream with Chocolate Cake and Apricot Jam 

One night in 1832, Prince Metternich of Vienna asked his kitchen to prepare a new dessert that would impress his guests. Since the pastry chef was ill, the prince turned to second-year apprentice Franz Sacher: “Don’t make me ashamed, it’s the only thing that I ask you.” Although Sacher was only 16, he was able to throughly dazzle the dinner party with his layered chocolate cake. Made up of dense chocolate cake, one to two layers of apricot jam, and chocolate icing, the cake was later perfected by Franz’s son Eduard.

Eduard made the cake at Cafe Patisserie Demel, which made cakes for the Imperial Court and the public. Eduard then went on to open the Hotel Sacher in 1876 where he also sold the Sacher torte. His wife, Anna, a dynamic, cigar-smoking woman, made the hotel one of the most sought after in Europe. The hotel as well as the cake’s popularity grew over the next few decades, which only added to the subsequent sweet scandal. In 1934, with the Hotel Sacher going through bankruptcy,  Eduard’s son, Eduard Jr., went to work at Cafe Demel and took the recipe for the “eduard-sacher-torte” with him.

Four years later, the new owners of Hotel Sacher began selling cakes with the name “the original sachertorte.” Due to the war, the hotel didn’t sue Demel until 1954, claiming their trademark rights to selling to original torte. The 25-year-long legal battle included many recipe clarifications and changes on both sides. Today, the “original” sacher torte has two layers of apricot jam and a coarse grain of sponge cake, while the “eduard-sacher-torte” has a smoother cake and only one layer of jam.
