The Viennese like their institutions, particularly when it comes to eating and drinking. The grand cafe for rustling the day’s newspaper over a melange (the local caffeine fix); the heuriger, or wine tavern, for a glass of something grown in the city’s vineyards and a plate of pickles; the gasthaus for pub grub and beisl, or bistro. The Viennese waltz between them, depending on mood and occasion.

I stepped off a train here three decades ago and have been finding my way back ever since. Some cities seem to encapsulate a feeling, a mood, and while Vienna may forever be immortalised in a certain glacial hit of the 1980s, there’s also a 1970s Billy Joel song of the same name that feels more apt. “Slow down, you’re doing fine,” goes the refrain, “you can afford to lose a day or two.” This is a city where it’s easy to slow down, take your time.
