In Vienna, the coffee house isn’t just a hangout: it’s an institution. Lingering over a newspaper with a pastry and a strong espresso drink is, according to UNESCO, officially a Viennese cultural pastime. Walk off your slice of Sachertorte with a self-guided tour of the city’s stunning traditional, Secessionist, and modern architecture, such as the Imperial Palace, the State Opera House, the Kirche am Steinhof, or the Kunsthistorisches Museum, an exercise in ornate geometry.

Wiener Porzellanmanufaktur Augarten, the second oldest porcelain manufactory in Europe, was founded in 1718. The “white gold” from Vienna has been lovingly moulded and shaped, glazed and painted by hand ever since; every single item of finest Augarten porcelain is just unique now as it was then. Design and artistic value reflect collaboration with generations of well-known artists. Augarten upholds this tradition, working closely with some of the most respected designers of our day.
While the tour is held in German there are English headphones. I picked up key words and generally looked as I’m familiar with making with porcelain. I was keen to see another porcelain factory and this one, while small, was perfect to get an overview of how porcelain is made. A must for anyone interested in the fine arts and appreciating hand made objects. Perfect too for children/teenagers to see how crockery is made. There is an exhibition, museum, shop, cafe and garden too. So a few hours needed to enjoy.
