What a nice website you have! We will be visiting Vienna, for the first time, in September (24th-Oct. 1). Are there Vienna Coffeehouse Future in September? Do you have any other suggestions for meeting people and talking with them? We are English-speakers.
thanks for the kudos! We are just setting up the September, October and November Vienna Coffeehouse Conversations. The September event is likely to fall on the 20th or 27th September. I should be able to let you know in the next 7 days.
I’m not aware of any similar off-the-beaten-track events for English speakers. However, the Wiener Wiesnfest – Vienna’s answer to the Munich Octoberfest – will take place during your stay. The atmosphere is very relaxed and people chat and have food and drink on long wooden benches. Many Viennese of the middle and younger generation speak English. Go to Things to do in Vienna in September for informtion in English, or visit the event website (German) to get a flavour.
I hope this helps. I’ll be back in touch on the September date for the Coffeehouse Conversations.

For 15 years I have been connecting independent travellers to the pulse of my hometown Wien: by designing bespoke itineraries that allow you to get behind Vienna’s local charm on your own, while covering its key highlights.
Taking you a step further: To apply the insight provided here my local partner guide Claudia and her team take over when you arrive in Wien. From meeting the Spanish Riding School’s Lipizzaner horses backstage and crawling through the attic of St. Stephen’s Cathedral to exploring neighbourhoods where locals still play cards in cafés.
