Living in Vienna

Reflections on living in Vienna — coffee culture, urban nature, and the pace of life.

Vienna has been home since 2020. It's a city that rewards slowness — the coffee houses, the Danube Island, the quiet corners of the Prater.

Some things I've come to appreciate:

  • The public transport system is genuinely excellent
  • Green spaces are everywhere and well-maintained
  • The cultural infrastructure (museums, concerts, theaters) is world-class
  • Bureaucracy is real, but manageable once you learn the system
