6. Cultural Notes

Vienna has distinct characteristics that differ from other German-speaking cities:

Coffeehouses are institutions — staying hours with one coffee is expected and welcome
Grüß Gott — standard greeting (not "Hallo")
Austrians ≠ Germans — cultural differences are significant, never conflate them
Indirect communication — Viennese are more indirect than Germans
Title usage — academic titles matter (Herr Doktor, Frau Magister)
Sunday closures — most shops closed, restaurants and cafés open

English widely spoken in tourist areas, universities, tech companies
Some useful Austrian terms:

- Beisl = Traditional tavern
- Heuriger = Wine tavern
