In one of the Hofburg’s periodic attempts to enliven a visit to the rather dreary state apartments, an exhibition has been running since mid-October offering an interesting vision of the luxury and splendour enjoyed by Austria’s imperial family. Through photographs of the various summer villas, palaces and hunting lodges, visitors are presented with a behind-the-scenes view of Empress Elisabeth’s favourite haunts. This show is strictly for monarchic nostalgics.

This warhorse of a club has had more lives than a cat. Originally a roller disco, it gained worldwide fame in the early ’80s as the epicenter of the downtown hip-hop culture-clash, with Afrika Bambaataa on the wheels of steel. Later, it became a cheesy Latin freestyle club, then a hugely popular gay club. The queens have returned on Saturdays (perhaps getting the jump on an early-’90s revival), packing the place as they used to do. On Fridays, meanwhile, you’ll find a straight suburban crowd getting down to commercial house, hip-hop, salsa, etc. The room is immense and impressive, and the sound system kicks ass. Worth a trip for first-timers.
