The Viennese love coffee. Traditionally, people would meet at beautiful coffeehouses, drink a Melange and a glass of water, and read a newspaper. They stayed for hours and were served by grumpy waiters. Some famous writers also wrote whole novels in these cafes-which is why they are called "Kaffehaus-Literaten". In spite of competition from American chains, the Kaffehaus remains popular with locals.

1. Salute the city's favourite film

2. Grab a flea market bargain

Vienna's largest open-air food market, the Naschmarkt, opens Monday to Saturday. Admire the stalls' bounty, from buckets of tulips to pickles, wines and plump, purple-flushed figs, stopping for breakfast at Do-An or Tewa.

On Saturdays, it's worth getting here at 7am or earlier to clock a bargain at the flea market, located beside Kettenbrückengasse U-Bahn station. Alongside the market, look out for the lovely Otto Wagner Houses at nos.38 and 40 - the latter's tiles embossed with vines and flowers.
4, Linke und Rechte Wienzeile. U1, U2, U4 Karlsplatz. Open 6am-6.30pm Mon-Fri; 6am-5pm Sat.

3. Experience Vienna's arty trinity

Once the imperial stables, the Museumsquartier is now a lovely spot for lounging and people-watching, or some serious art appreciation. Before you stand three artistic behemoths: the white limestone cube of the Leopold Museum, the contemporary delights of Kunsthalle Wien, occupying the old winter riding hall, and the black basalt Museum of Modern Art, MUMOK. If you've only got the energy for one, make it the Leopold, with the world's largest collection of Egon Schiele's work, and its swish, glass-walled café.

4. Stroll through a musical park

The largest of the Ringstrasse parks, the Stadtpark stretches from just east of Schwarzenbergplatz to Stubentor, either side of the Wien river. Located beside Otto Wagner's Stadtpark U-Bahn station, the main entrance is flanked by superb stone-carved Jugendstil colonnades. Just to the north is the park's most emblematic building, the neo-Renaissance Kursalon, a venue for rather tacky Strauss concerts. Music is the theme here, and most visitors head for the schmaltzy but nonetheless finely executed gilt statue of Johann Strauss. Scattered around the park, you'll also find busts of Schubert, Bruckner and Lehár (he of 'The Merry Widow'.
Main entrance: Johannesgasse (beside Stadtpark U-Bahn station). U4 Stadtpark, U3 Stubentor/ tram 2. Open 24hrs daily.

5. Discover Viennese vino

The seven square kilometres of vineyards that lie within its boundaries make Vienna the world's largest wine-growing capital city. The most extensive area is on the northern fringe in districts 16-19, but the highest quality vines lie over the Danube in the 21st district. On balmy summer evenings, join the Viennese for an evening in a Heuriger, one of the scores of rustic wine taverns dotted among the vineyards that skirt the Vienna Woods. The website www.heurigenkalender.at is a useful resource in English that provides up-to-date hours for venues in Vienna and beyond. The further you go, the higher the chances of finding the authenticity and breath-taking views that make a real Heuriger so memorable.

The following are particularly recommended: Heuriger Göbel (21, Stammersdorfer Kellergasse 131, 294 8420/0664 2439835), Hirt (19, Eisernenhandgasse 165, 318 9641), Sirbu (19, Kahlenberger Strasse 210, 320 5928) and Zawodsky (19, Reinischgasse 3, 320 7978).

6. Lunch like a local

Vienna is a city of bureaucrats and students, all of whom have to be fed and watered. Inside the city's hulking ministries and cultural institutions, canteens are open from Monday to Friday - and access to these subsidised salons is generally unrestricted. If you're on a budget or merely fancy a peek into the underbelly of the Austrian state, here are some central options.

Near Schottentor U-Bahn you can ride a hop-on-hop-off paternoster lift to the top floor of the NIG (1, Universitätsstrasse 7, 406 4594) to a penthouse MENSA with striking views of the Rathaus, Votivkirche and Josefstadt prison. The food is fairly pedestrian, though. In the Innere Stadt, the Musikakademie MENSA (1, Johannesgasse 8, 512 9470) combines historic surroundings, decent main courses and piano practice. Nearby on the Ringstrasse, another MENSA at the Akademie für Angewandte Kunst (Oscar Kokoschka Platz, 2) is a dirt-cheap pre-fab full of hipster art students. Another art school canteen, with a magnificent interior and large beers at €2.20, is the Akademie der Bildenden Künste (1, Schillerplatz 3, 588 16-1166). For basic Austrian dishes, the canteen of the state-run Akademietheater (51444-4740) is pretty faultless. Enjoy a cheap Schnitzel and sautéd potatoes on period Formica tables in the company of stagehands, actors and academics. Superior nosh is on offer at the Minoritenstüberl, the Education Ministry canteen (1, Minoritenplatz 5, 533 5281) where every Wednesday they serve Beuschel, Vienna's classic offal dish.

7. Ecclesiastical art nouveau

It's worth the 25-minute bus trip to Baumgartnerhöhe to clap eyes on Otto Wagner's magnificent copper-domed, art nouveau Kirche am Steinhof. At the terminus, get off the bus and follow the signs through the grounds of Vienna's principal psychiatric hospital, an elegant ensemble of pavilions from the same period. Opened in 1907, the marble-clad church features breathtaking stained-glass windows by Koloman Moser. Visits are restricted to short slots on Saturdays and Sundays, but you can also enjoy panoramic views of the city from the surrounding parkland.
14, Baumgartnerhöhe1 (91060-11007, http://www.wien.info/en/sightseeing/sights/from-g-to-k/church-steinhof). Bus 48a Volkstheater. Open Sat 4-5pm (guided tours in German 3-4pm), Sun noon-4pm (guided tours in German 4-5pm). Admission €2; guided tours €8.

8. Snaffle a street snack

Würstelstand (sausage stands) are a ubiquitous sight on Vienna's streets, dispensing piping-hot sausages, hot dogs, beer and soft drinks. Among the best stands are the Würstelstand am Hohen Markt and the impressively sleek Bitzinger outpost on Albertinaplatz. The local favourite is the Käsekrainer - oozing with cheese, and fondly referred to as an Eitriger, or pus-stick.

9. Hit the beach (no, really)

The banks of the Danube, either side of the Neue Donau channel, are the nearest Vienna gets to a beach. Take the U1 to Donauinsel and walk until you find a suitable spot. Head downstream for the nude spots, which are marked FKK on maps. Two stops further on the U1, the Alte Donau has paying beach clubs such as the sprawling Gänsehäufel (601 12 8044), which has both swimming pools and beaches, and a peaceful nudist area; take the U1 to Kaisermühlen-Vienna International Centre, then bus 90a, 91a or 92a to Schüttauplatz. On the opposite bank the best bet is the Bundesbad Alte Donau, a short walk from the U1 Alte Donau station.

10. Get an aerial view

No trip to Vienna is complete without a ride on the 19th-century Riesenrad or giant ferris wheel that features in 'The Third Man'. It's the only remaining work of British engineer Walter Basset who also built wheels for Blackpool, London and Paris. It was completed in 1897 to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Franz Josef.

A full circle in one of the 15 wooden gondolas takes a gentle 20 minutes, and at its highest point you are 65 metres (213 feet) up.
2, Prater 90 (729 54 30, www.wienerriesenrad.com). U1 Praterstern, trams 5, N. Open Nov-Feb 10am-8pm daily. Mar-Apr 10am-9.45pm daily. May-Sept 10am-11.45pm daily. Oct 10am-9.45pm daily. Admission €9.50; €4-€8.50 reductions.

11. Take a two-wheeled tour

With over 1000 kilometres (620 miles) of bike paths in the city and around, Vienna is superb for cyclists. Popular locales for a bike ride include the Prater, along the Donaukanal and around the Alte and Neue Donau, and on the Donauinsel; you can also circle the Ring on a bike path. For out of town cycling, head west along the Danube, or go mountainbiking in the Vienna Woods.

Citybike is a public rental scheme. Register online (€1 registration fee) or at one of the 61 docking stations, using a credit card; alternatively, buy a Citybike Tourist Card (€2) at Pedal Power (2, Ausstellungsstrasse 3, 729 7234) or Royal Tours (1, Herrengasse 1-3). If you return the bike to another docking station within an hour, the ride is free; after that, a small charge applies.

12. Stomp along to modern tunes

13. Gobble a guilt-free lunch

14. Take a Freudian trip

Opened in 1971, the Sigmund Freud Museum is set in the apartment where Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, lived and worked from 1898 until 1938, when he was forced into exile by the Nazis.

You're offered a guide to the exhibits in a choice of languages, then let loose to explore; if you have any questions, staff are extremely helpful. Photos, letters, first editions and the ethnic bric-a-brac Freud so assiduously collected are displayed in glass cases, while one room shows 8mm films of Freud and family. Other items, such as a photo of the house daubed with swastikas, are more chilling.
9, Berggasse 19 (319 1596, www.freud-museum.at). U2 Schottentor/tram 37, 38, 40, 41, 42, D. Open Oct-June 9am-5pm daily. July-Sept 9am-6pm daily. Archive, library by appt. Admission €9; €4-€8 reductions; free under-12s.

15. Experience chocolate heaven

16. Get on the street art trail

The passageways of the MuseumsQuartier are home to changing art installations, covering comics, typography, sound art and street art. On the bridge that leads to Spittelberg, the Street Art Passage is particularly noteworthy, featuring a permanent piece by French artist Invader, a temporary artwork and a vending machine selling copies of street art magazine Betonblumen ('concrete blooms'), designed by the featured artist. A few streets away, overlooking the Naschmarkt, the INOPERAbLE Gallery at Stiegengasse 2/3, specializes in urban and street art (www.inoperable.at).

17. Visit the oldest zoo in the world

18. Meet the city's modern art masters

What looks like a smart shop front is in fact the entrance to Georg Kargl Fine Arts - a deceptively large sky-lit basement space. Kargl is a major player in the Viennese art world, both as a personality and for exhibiting seriously saleable art by the likes of Elke Krystufek, Inés Lombardi, Herbert Hinteregger, Mark Dion, Thomas Locher and Cerith Wyn Evans.

Younger artists are shown in next door's BOX, a bijou but beautiful space designed by prized American artist Richard Artschwager. The street is also home to numerous other serious galleries.
4, Schleifmühlgasse 5 (585 4199, www.georgkargl.com). Tram 62, 65/bus 59a. Open 11am-7pm Tue, Wed, Fri; 11am-8pm Thur; 11am-4pm Sat.

19. Drop in at Mozart's

20. Meet the rising stars of classical music

Given the city's prestigious classical alumni, talented young musicians come from all over the world to study at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, which runs an enormous array of concerts and performances around the city to showcase their talents. Consult www.mdw.ac.at/6 for the packed schedule of events, some of which are free.
