Questions
Spanish Riding School schedule?
Performances 11 a.m. Saturday-Sunday + select Wednesdays/Fridays. Tickets €25-200 (the cheap seats are still good views). Morning training session ($15-20) is a cheaper bachelor option — weekday 10 a.m.
Heuriger access?
Grinzing is 30 minutes from city centre by tram. The 'Ausg'steckt' branch hung outside means the tavern is open. Each one is family-run; bring cash, expect cold platters and current-year wine. Open April-October mostly.
Sacher Hotel — apex?
Yes. Habsburg-era grand hotel, the Sacher Café is the museum-grade institution. Cake + coffee + the Habsburg vibe — the bachelor's afternoon ritual.
