Flex

One of the best Clubs in Europe (Magazine Spex). Though they were a bit more underground years ago, there ist a really good music-program to enjoy. But beware of the waiters - they aren't always the nicest on earth.

Burgtheater

The Burgtheater is the theatre where Thomas Bernhard became the top scandal playwright of the German speaking world in the 80's. They are still playing a lot of his stuff (don't miss Heldenplatz) and many other strange plays. Its certainly not the place to go, when you think theatre should be played like it was a hundred years ago, even though the Burgtheater is located in a marvellous 19th century building. Ask for student tickets here (50 ÖS = US$ 4.00).

Vienna State Opera

The Staatsoper is considered to be the N°1 Opera House of Central Europe. Even if you're not into that kind of culture, the impressing building itself is worth a visit. Show up there two hours before the regular start of the perfomance and you can get tickets for as little money as 20 Austrian shillings (US$ 1.50).

When they are playing to a full house, there are no seats for holders of these cheap tickets, but the atmosphere in the standing room is funny anyway and most days enough seats remain free. T-shirt and jeans is also OK as long as you do not attend to more..

Tunnel

Beer, Wine and Food (Pizza, Pasta, Arabic stuff) at modest prices. Great breakfast variety for about US$ 2.50. Very gemütlich place. Service is unfriendly enough to remind you that you're in Vienna. Livemusic in the cellar (therefore Tunnel) on most evenings, sometimes entrance free.
When you get in, remain the waiters that you are there, specialy if you sit on the second floor.

Passage

What once was a pedestrian underpass at one of Vienna's pivotal points is now about to become the cityís hippest hotspot for distinguished nightlife. Since the early 60ís the Babenberger Passage with its four exits provided the subterranean connection for all corners of one rather special crossover in the centre of Vienna. The always busy and bustling shopping-boulevard Mariahilfer Strafle at this point meets Vienna's most famous avenue, the broad and gorgeous Ring. Now this is where a night club with international flair will soon open its gates. Downstairs below the avenue, more..

Maria's Cantina

Go there for an unpredictable night. Don't show up before 11 p.m. Dance to Salsa rhythms, meet the young and beautiful. The place is obviously run by alcoholics, after 2 a.m. the staff sometimes goes mad and forgets to earn money. Fun, as long as you like tequila. For some reason the best day there used to be Wednesday.

An exquisite bar with an impressing assortment of liquors and cocktails. Apart from some free internet terminals the place isn't really cheap...

Subway: Neubaugasse,6th district.
