Vienna is a cool city. Was there once in winter and once in summer and I liked being there more in summer. In winter is just horribly cold and it's all grey. In summer you can do lots of stuff outside, although the Danube riverside isn't as cool as in Budapest. Pros: - great food options (not only Austrian, but also for vegans) - amazing architecture (really worth seeing) - lots of things to do Cons: - everything closes quite early (supermarkets at 8pm, come on) - quite expensive (didn't remember and was shocked) - not as nomad-like as Budapest Vienna is more of a tourist city than a nomad or expat city. For a visit it's great but living there is expensive and although there are some cool coworking spots, it's not there yet. Nice places to get some good food: Swing Kitchen (Vegan fast food chain) Ulrich (really nice place to enjoy a good breakfast) Dachboden (for the views, not the drinks. Cocktails there are expensive and not really for most) Drechsler (also a good breakfast) Neni (if you want to enjoy good falafel and traditional middle eastern cuisine)

Been living in Vienna since 7 years so I have alot to say about the city while iving as an expat: Pro: Safety, Good TransportationCons: Racism, not open to foreigners, hard to make friends with Austrians as they are not open, everything is expensive, boring not much to do, extremely cold in the winter. Leaving soon to Spain and I cannot wait :D

Pros:* Very clean - lots of hand sanitisation places and people wear masks + streets are clean* Great, cheap public transport* Very beautiful city and good parks* Pretty good Italian and asian foodCons:* Coffee shops seem to have mostly gone and been replaced with lots of Starbucks and other chains.* Food / drinks is very expensive in most parts - Local beer is quite cheap though* Barely any night life to speak of - everything closes at 11pmOther Info:COVID restrictions are very strict there (in a good and bad way). You need to provide proof of vaccination/recovery even to sit outside for a coffee. Not a problem if you are vaccinated but a huge one if you aren't.FFP2 Masks are required everywhere - you will be turned away from places if you don't have one.

Vienna is nice if you're a tourist and want to see beautiful old architecture. And I guess it's nice if you want to live here for a long time, since it's quite safe and clean. But it's borderline impossible to live and work here short-term as a nomad. There's no good cafes to work from, the coworkings here are of extremely mediocre to bad quality here. Except for greaaaat Asian food, other food is difficult to get, there's either affordable takeaway fast food or expensive in-door fancy dining restaurants, nothing in between. People are stern but friendly, as everywhere in Austria.

Been there in January. Like Schonbrunn more than the old center of VIENNA. Honestly, I wouldn't go there during the winter, but in the summer will definitely return for a good look upon the stuff over there.
