Schanigartens on Alsergrund: Summer enjoyment in the open air!
When the days get longer and the temperatures get milder, it's time to discover the popular pub gardens in Vienna. There are many of these outdoor areas on Alsergrund, which are located in public areas and invite you to sit together sociably. MyDistrict reports that the district is particularly well positioned, with bar gardens that impress both in terms of cuisine and atmosphere.
A highlight is the Schanigarten in the old AKH, now part of the University of Vienna campus. The Stiegl outpatient clinic opens here on June 20th with a fresh concept. For those who love Austrian cuisine, the Bierheurige zum Gangl is just the thing. The Salettl on campus also serves cool drinks and burgers, which are particularly refreshing in the summer months.
Regional food and cozy places
Another popular spot is the Markterei, which is located in the garden of the former water laboratory at Severingasse 7. Every weekend from Friday to Saturday, regional products can be tasted here, and the shady garden invites you to linger. 1000things highlights that pub gardens have a long tradition in Vienna and that the season officially begins on March 1st and ends on November 30th.
Café Nuss at Nussdorfer Straße 9 offers its guests a relaxed atmosphere under shady trees, ideal for good conversations over coffee and cake. But there are also plenty of appetizing options on offer: “Das 1090” at Bauernfeldplatz 2 offers a rich breakfast buffet on weekends, although the brunch option with unlimited Prosecco is not to be sneezed at.
Colorful diversity in the Schanigarten scene
Vienna has a total of around 3,500 pub gardens, the first of which was opened by Johann Jakob “Gianni” Taroni in 1750. Vienna.info explains that these outdoor areas not only invite you to feast, but are also suitable for relaxing in busy surroundings. Many of these bar gardens can be found in picturesque squares, such as St.-Ulrichs-Platz or in the Biedermeier district of Spittelberg.
The dining experiences are also particularly noteworthy: Café Ansari offers Mediterranean and Georgian cuisine in a shady garden, while Mochi serves Japanese specialties in its outdoor seating area. The bar garden of the Zum Finsteren Stern restaurant is also an idyll, surrounded by old buildings and trees.
In times when sitting comfortably together in the fresh air is very popular, the Schanigartens on Alsergrund and beyond offer the perfect opportunity to enjoy the summer. Whether for a quick snack or a long breakfast, there is something here for every taste.
