Vienna, Her Way

Vienna, Her Way

A women-led guide to cafés, restaurants, shops & stays in the heart of the city

A women-led guide to cafés, restaurants, shops & stays in the heart of the city
There’s a version of Vienna most people see.
Grand buildings. Busy streets. A checklist.

Of course, there are the classics like Schönbrunn Palace, the Hofburg, the Kunsthistorisches Museum, or the Austrian National Library.
The kind of places every Vienna guide will send you to, along with a night at the Vienna State Opera or coffee at institutions like Café Sacher and Café Central.

And then there’s this version.
The one where you move differently.
Where every place you walk into feels considered.
And where the women behind these spaces quietly shape how the city feels, connected by a sense of sisterhood and support.

This is Vienna - through her.


GoLeonessa Tip: If you are comfortable riding a scooter. It's a fun way to explore the city!

Start Slow: Cafés That Feel Like a Pause

Die Cafetière - run by Peggy Strobel.
A café that feels like a ritual. 1950s charm, quiet corners, and coffee that invites you to stay a little longer.

Crème de la Crème - founded by Julia Kilarski.
This is your soft moment. Fine pâtisserie, delicate textures, and the kind of beauty you don’t rush through.

Café Vollpension
A café where grandmothers and grandfathers bake from cherished family recipes, bringing generations together and supporting a more connected, caring community.

Lunch, Light & Long Conversations

& flora - created by Parvin Razani
A space that feels curated like a mood board. Light, floral, and effortlessly stylish. You come for lunch… and stay for the feeling.

In Between: Spaces That Tell a Story

INA KENT Store - founded by Katharina Slawitsch.
Where handbags feel more like design objects than accessories. Structured, minimal, and intentionally bold. Luxury with a clear point of view.

Kleider gehen um - by Heidi Schüttbacher.

A vintage store that feels more like a curated wardrobe than a shop. Pieces with history, selected with intention, sustainable, personal, and effortlessly confident.

A Sweet Experience (Hands-On & Unforgettable)

Chocolate Museum “BO-YO” - co-founded by Jovana Misaljevic Yoyo.
A playful, hands-on experience where you create your own chocolate and explore the world behind it, through workshops like “Mozartkugeln” or “Be a chocolatier for a day.”

Dinner Experiences

Zur Herkerin - by Stefanie Herker
Relaxed, expressive, and full of character - traditional Viennese dishes are given a personal, modern touch. Perfect for a laid-back dinner that flows into conversation. Open only Thursday and Friday, which makes it feel all the more special when you catch it.
JOLA - by Larissa Andres
An intimate, dinner-only restaurant where a seasonal set menu guides the entire experience. Creative, and entirely plant-based. Each evening unfolds as a carefully composed journey, with dishes evolving around what’s freshest and most expressive.
