Established only in 2001, this little exhibition center in the 7th district is home of some of the best photo expositions in Vienna. This is just something a photographer, an amateur or just a curious visitor can’t really miss.

Every 20 days or so a new thrilling event is there to be admired. In the past they’ve hosted the very cream of photography from Araki to Burri and Salgado. Every year the World Press Photo winning photos are showcased here.

Located in a minimalist former loft it is perfectly arranged to focus the visitor on photographs without distractions. The only one being the permanent collection of more then 800 historical cameras which won’t pass unnoticed.

From time to time they organize auctions of old-timer equipment and an old glorious Graflex could be yours for a little more then 300 Euro. The adjacent Westlicht all-Leica shop is worth visiting even if you can’t afford buying one!

Current exhibition: 21.02.2012 - 22.04.2012

A small street, somewhere in the 3rd district in a quiet residential area… who would expect such an authentic Cretan cuisine here. The Taverna Lefteris might look like the typical Greek from around the corner, but the quality of the food is outstanding.

Native extra virgin olive oil is the base of most dishes. Fish specialties are always worth trying here, and the best choices are usually the current seasonal offers (which are usually not written anywhere, so ask the waiter!).

Food is served with a smile by the Greek staff and if you are curious enough to spy, you will see women ruling the kitchen. Open your stomach with a plate of Mesédes (cold or warm entrées) accompanied with homemade bread (incredibly good!) and a glass of wine.

Go there for one of their regular live music events for the Greek experience in Vienna

Upcoming:17.4. THEODOTI ALEXANDROU
