Meeting at "Heuriger Nikisch"

A "Heuriger" is a traditional Viennese tavern. On the one hand "Heuriger" refers to the wine tavern where wine is served, on the other hand it is the name used for this year's wine. It depends on the licence what kind of food may be served, and there must always be a self-service buffet. Wine, however, is served to the tables.

We meet at the Heuriger Nikisch nearby the last stop of bus Nr. 39A.

Address: District 19, Sieveringerstrasse 172..
