Personal comments
For coffee, "The Beanery" of "Harrach Cafe" near the Karl-Franzens-Universität are not to be missed. Night spots for Erasmus are the USI-Fest (University party nearly each Friday), KulturhausKeller, Three monkeys, Cohibar,....many, many places. Also parties at Studentwohnheims (student residences). Must go also to the Theatre. There is also the General Music Direktion where you can hear different kinds of music deppending the day you go. Can dance a lot there and have fun. Many austrians go there or to Teatro.
