Landstraße, the 3rd district, lies southeast of the center between the Wien river and the Danube Canal. At 7.42 km² it is the largest of the inner districts.12 Its past runs deep: Richard I of England was captured in its Erdberg neighborhood in 1192 on his way home from the Third Crusade, and Mozart moved here in 1787, when it still lay outside the city walls.1

The Belvedere was built here as the residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy, and Friedensreich Hundertwasser designed both the Hundertwasserhaus apartment block and the KunstHausWien.12 Coffee follows the residential streets. Landstraßer Hauptstraße, which starts at Wien Mitte, has the longest run of cafés, and the older Kaffeehaus tradition survives at Café Zartl.2

Local tip: Café Dialog on Rennweg opens at 06:00 on weekdays and stays open until 02:00, the longest hours on the street; Rennweg S-Bahn station sits at the Belvedere gardens.2

Coffee chains in Landstraße (3.)

Wien Mitte and the U3

Wien Mitte is the district's main station: the City Airport Train ends there, the S7 from the airport stops there, and the U3 and U4 meet underneath.2 The U3 then crosses the district, with Rochusgasse for the Rochusmarkt, Schlachthausgasse, and Erdberg, which has a bus station.2

Tram O serves the northern part of the district from the Hauptbahnhof and tram 18 the southern part, while tram D stops at the Belvedere.2

Café Zartl on Rasumofskygasse

A modest coffee house opened at Rasumofskygasse 7 soon after the building went up in 1883, and Robert Zartl took it over after the First World War.3 Robert Musil, who lived at Rasumofskygasse 20, Heimito von Doderer, Alfred Polgar and Friedrich Gulda were among its guests, and Jeannie Ebner wrote her novel Die Wildnis früher Sommer here in 1957, according to the guestbook.3

By around 1980 its survival was in doubt; Monika Hackl and her husband took it over and reopened it on 5 October 1982.3 Count Razumovsky, Russia's envoy to Vienna, built his residence in the district.1

Along Landstraßer Hauptstraße and Rennweg

Landstraßer Hauptstraße starts at Wien Mitte near Rochusgasse, where the Rochusmarkt sells fresh produce outdoors.2 Joseph Brot at No. 4 opens at 07:30 on weekdays and 08:00 on Sundays, and Café Vilimek is at No. 79. Jonas Reindl, whose own roastery is in the 7th district, has a café at No. 21.4

Rennweg was once the road east out of the city, and Metternich remarked that the Balkans begin there.1 Café Dialog at Rennweg 43 opens at 06:00 on weekdays and closes at 02:00, and L'Attimo Kaffee Bistrot at No. 23 keeps daytime hours, Monday to Saturday.

Belvedere, Hundertwasser and the late end

Parkcafé im unteren Belvedere, at the Lower Belvedere, opens daily 10:00–18:00, and the district's Botanic Garden was founded by Empress Maria Theresia in 1754.2 By the Hundertwasser buildings are the Kunst-Cafe im Hundertwasserhaus and the Hundertwasser Village Cafe Bar, open daily 09:00–19:00. Most of the Hundertwasserhaus is still lived in, so visitors are asked to respect the residents' privacy.2

For late coffee, Black Jack on Klimschgasse and Café Satchmo on Salesianergasse stay open until 02:00; Black Jack also opens at 06:30 on weekdays.
