Turn-of-the-Century Vienna around Sigmund Freud
Eleonore Neubacher has specialised in walking tours in English dealing with Vienna’s Jewish history for over 10 years. Setting off from the corner of Währinger Straße and Bergggasse, where Freud’s apartment is located, she takes groups on a walk through the often overlooked Ninth District, Vienna’s medical quarter and an area crucial to Viennese Jewry. Highlights include a visit to the Freud Museum, the charming streets of the Servitenviertel and the fascinating Seegasse Jewish cemetery hidden in the grounds of an old people’s home.

Salsitas & Club 22
A huge palace of sculpted whiteness, Salsitas provides its awe-struck clientele with a bar, restaurant and cool club area. The food is a very decent selection of salads, pizzas and such tasteful main courses as chicken breast with sun-dried tomatoes, asparagus and wild mushrooms. After dinner, the newly created Club 22, run by the hip and trendy crew of the defunct Octopussy, gets the feet moving with excellent house, disco and breakbeat, featuring such DJs as Bass, Howard and Sideral. The club scene happens every night during August, and Thursday til Saturday in September and October.
