Vienna in depth, close to 31,000 places from Kaffeehäuser and Beisln to late bars and spas, for travelers who want the city Viennese people actually use.
Austria is small, mountainous and easy to cross by train, but for now Num is a Vienna specialist: 30,950 places across the city, deepest in the inner districts and the residential ones most visitors never reach, Favoriten, Landstrasse and Ottakring among them. Restaurants lead with 3,003 entries, then 1,938 cafés and 1,255 bars, which is the right balance for a city where the coffee house is a room you rent for the price of a Melange.
Ask Num for a Kaffeehaus with newspapers and no laptops, a Beisl still serving Tafelspitz after 21:00, a Heuriger on the 19th-district vine slopes that is open this evening, or the nearest Würstelstand at 02:00. It can find a bakery open on a Sunday morning, a spa or sauna for a rainy afternoon, and a step-free way between two U-Bahn stations. Message in any language; it answers in yours, with one place, open now.

Vienna takes cards almost everywhere now, but a number of traditional cafés, market stalls at the Naschmarkt and small Beisln still prefer or insist on cash. Keep some euros on you.
Wiener Linien runs on trust: buy or validate a ticket before boarding and carry it; plain-clothes inspectors fine on the spot. One ticket covers U-Bahn, tram and bus within the city.
Nearly all shops, including supermarkets, close on Sundays and public holidays. Bakeries, station shops and restaurants stay open, so plan the food shop for Saturday.
A Melange is close to a cappuccino, a Verlängerter is a lengthened espresso, an Einspänner comes in a glass with whipped cream. Water arrives with your coffee without asking, and sitting for two hours is expected.
The wine taverns on the city's northern edge open in rotation; a hung bunch of pine branches over the door means that one is pouring this week. Many close in winter.
Message Num the way you would message a friend who lives here, in any language. It answers with one real place that fits, open now, and how to get there. It is free for travelers. Businesses list free and pay only when Num completes a booking for them, so nothing here is ranked by who paid.
Mid-range for Western Europe: coffee house prices are fair for the time you get, public transport is cheap for what it covers, and eating well at a Beisl or Würstelstand costs far less than a restaurant on the Ring.
Yes, in English or any other language. Write to Num the way you would text a friend and it answers in the same language with one real place in Vienna that fits and is open now.
The CAT is a premium train with its own fare. The ordinary S7 S-Bahn covers the same route on a standard ticket plus an airport supplement, and is what most locals use.
