Timeline
15:42
Grab a coffee and a slice of cake at Café Prückel. It is just a minute's walk from the MAK and opens at 08:00, so it is ready for you. The atmosphere is laissez-faire in the day, making it a perfect calm start before the rush of evening.
16:12
Walk back to the MAK (1 minute). Head to the windows or terrace facing WSW. The sun sets in that direction, casting long, warm shadows across the city. This is your moment to watch the light fade.
16:47
End the evening at Café Frauenhuber. It is an 11-minute walk from the MAK. This traditional café has been serving Viennese food since the times of Mozart and Beethoven. Stay for a digestif or a late dinner while the city lights come on.
Local tip
The MAK offers a 50% discount on Tuesdays from 18:00 to 22:00. If your sunset plan falls on a Tuesday, stay inside the museum after your view to explore the design collections at half price.
