Milk and Cheese Bar
Am Heumarkt 2a

Home to both
"Meierei" and "Steirereck"
is a former Milchhalle - dairy,
built high above the right bank of the Wien river
by the Viennese architects
Friedrich Ohmann und Josef Hackhofer
during the years 1901 to 1903.
Its beautiful location affords views over the river
and into Stadtpark - Vienna City Park -
and beyond, where St. Stephen's bell tower
reigns over the horizon.

The U4 Metro Station
is only a few hundred feet away.

  1. Oh Merisi - you have such a lovely blog and every time I visit it I wonder why I don't arrive more often (especially as my short holiday in Vienna made me fall in love with this beautiful city).

    I'll try and do better - promise

    My mind goes blank except for strawberries and cream...
    I'm a hopeless mess :))
