The CAT train goes to the centre. Tickets: €9 single. Visit the Europcar desk for special easyJet rates. BON APPETIT UP TO €30 Gigerl (3 Rauhensteingasse, tel: 01 513 4431) Very handily located near St Stephen’s, Gigerl rustles up whopping schnitzels and salads amid Viennese décor. EXCLUSIVE Zum Schwarzen Kameel Restaurant (5 Bognergasse, tel: 01 533 8844) Something of a Viennese Institution, “At the Black Camel” seems stuck in a very congenial pre-1914 time warp, but that’s the way the locals like it. The adjoining wine bar is a perfect place to kick things off. AFTER DARK LOW KEY Café Prückel (24 Stubenring, tel: 01 512 6115) This legendary café, with its ice-cool 1950s décor, seems ideally suited to a John Le Carré spy thriller. Waiters in immaculate black tie keep things defi antly old school. LATE & LIVELY Loop (26–27 Lerchenfelder Gurtel, tel: 01 402 4195) Clubbers in search of the grittier side of Vienna’s nightlife might head for the Gurtel, the sweeping overland railway beneath which many impresarios have made a home. Loop dishes up funk, hip hop, house, reggae and more. THIS MONTH SHOP Bordering the hip Naschmarkt, Anna Stein offers a quirky mix of trinkets, with everything from accessories to books and CDs. There’s also a café on hand (21 Kettenbrückengasse). SEE Throw yourself into the giddy sounds of klezmer at this, the seventh incarnation of KlezMore, which sees outfi ts from across Europe and beyond descend on Vienna. Catch the sounds buzzing through the city from 6–21 November (klezmore-vienna.at). NO WAY! The curious journey made by an elephant from Lisbon to Vienna in 1551 inspired one of this year’s most acclaimed novels. The Elephant’s Journey, by the late Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago.

Cathedral views, free Wi-Fi and tasty pizzas – try the spicy kulen sausage topping. EXCLUSIVE Zinfandel’s Restaurant (1 Mihanoviceva, tel: 01 456 6644) An elegant dining option, Zinfandel’s is fi ttingly housed in Zagreb’s fi nest hotel. The Esplanade used to be a favourite of passengers on the Orient Express and today the service and modern cuisine attract a new generation of diners. AFTER DARK LOW KEY Gradska Kavana (9 Trg Bana Josipa Jelacica) There is no better place to take in the action on the city’s square. Savour a cold beer or coffee. LATE & LIVELY Hemingway (1 Tuskanac, tel: 01 483 4958) Dress to impress but you will probably still be scorned at by the chic staff. Cocktails are expensive by local standards but worth it. THIS MONTH SHOP The Croats claim to have invented the tie, and at Croata you can fi nd some sexy numbers (13 Kaptol, tel: 01 481 4600). GO Upper Town is the most beautiful corner of town and the most historic. Admire St Mark’s Church as well as the views over the city. NO WAY!

BON APPETIT UP TO €30 Adler’s Swiss Chuchi (10 Rosengasse, tel: 044 266 9696) Traditional, cosy Swiss chalet-style restaurant serving local specialities such as raclette potatoes with melted cheese and pickled gherkins. EXCLUSIVE Baerengasse (25 Bahnhofstrasse, tel: 044 210 0808) This stylish restaurant is set inside a bank and is partly owned by Dieter Meier from Swiss pop group Yello.
