Not only is Vienna the center of classical music because it is also a center of education. The city boasts of various prestigious universities one of which is the Vienna University of Economics and Business which has moved to its new location.
Situated in the Gasometer in the former red light district of the Austrian capital, the WU which is short for Wirtschaftsuniversität, has a population of 25,000 covering both students and employees.
The school is close to the Prater and in fact, the famous giant ferris wheel as well as the carousel there fill the campus skyline. Also around the corner are the Prater park’s meadows and recreational areas.
What also makes the university popular are its eateries. Being open to the general public, non-students are allowed to visit and dine at their preferred eatery.
Comida y Luz is a restaurant and cocktail bar located in the upper level of the EA building. Prices here, though, are a bit higher than the others.
Nykke is a Scandinavian restaurant which features a very young interior designtheme. The dishes offered here are more affordable. Recommended dishes are the dag bowls and the waffles with different toppings.
Mensa, on the other hand, is considered the main eatery of students. The place has a stylish theme featuring life-sized photos of trees and carries the motto “Picnic in nature.”
Das Campus is another dining option. It utilizes herbs as decoration on their wooden tables, comfortable pillows and booths right by the windows. Its menu includes salads, steaks and the best burgers in Vienna.
