I thought the following article would be enjoyable for past, future and frequent visitors to Vienna. The piece outlines some typical behaviors that will help folks understand some quirks.

Thanks Emily. I bookmarked your post so I can look at other articles on this site before our trip in Sept.
Emily, what a fun article! I love quirky. It's what makes each travel destination so unique. We are getting so excited to visit your beloved Vienna in September. I especially liked the idea of sharing a table for a chance encounter. We did this 25 years ago in Rarotonga. We met a delightful couple from New Zealand. We became friends and have visited each other multiple times.
I plan to forward this article to friends who will be in Vienna soon.
Thanks for sharing. Bookmarked!
Funny article! One thing missing was the Viennese obsession with death. I read a book about that many years ago. Also, besides the Viennese yelling at a person for crossing against a red light, I was once yelled at by a man on a Strassenbahn for sitting with my right leg crossed over my left knee (a form of manspreading). Never did that again.
