About Café Landtmann
Elegant 1873 grand cafe directly opposite the Burgtheater, frequented by actors, politicians, and Sigmund Freud who had his regular table. The terrace is Vienna's best for people-watching along the Ringstrasse, with Melange at EUR 6.80 and exceptional Sachertorte for EUR 8.20. White-jacketed waiters serve on silver trays amid crystal chandeliers.
Insider Tips
Request a terrace table facing the Ringstrasse for prime people-watching, especially beautiful during the Christmas market season.
