Formally decorated with antique-style paintings, white tablecloths and a modern edge, Café Katzung is a true gem. The menu features a decent range of traditional Austrian desserts – including apple strudel, Sachertorte and kaiserscharm. Located in the Old Town, the outdoor seating area is a great little spot for people-watching and admiring the glittering Golden Roof – one of the city’s most popular tourist attractions, which stands a few doors down from the café.

One of the best views of the exterior of the Goldenes Dachl is available from the front terrace of the Café Katzung, Herzog-Friedrich-Strasse 16 (tel. 0512/586183; www.cafe-katzung.at; tram: 1 or 3), a time-tested cafe whose interior was ripped apart and rebuilt during a 5-month period in 2002. The decor today is more streamlined and a bit more modern-looking than the cranky, faux-baroque decor it replaced, but the medley of international newspapers (at least 10 of them) is still available, suspended vertically on rods, in a style you'd associate with a library. Within a decor of wooden floors and a color scheme of pale green and cream with touches of red, you'll select from a full range of whiskeys, coffees, Austrian wine, and light platters that consist mostly of sandwiches, soups, and salads.

Recentemente votato come il miglior caffè del Tirolo dalla guida Falstaff, il Katzung appartiene sicuramente alla Sightseeing-Bucketlist di chi si appassiona alla cultura e alla gastronomia. La posizione nel cuore del centro storico, di fronte al Tettuccio d'oro, è considerata una tribuna da cui si può osservare meravigliosamente il cuore pulsante della città. Al Katzung si può anche sperimentare il significato della tradizione del Wiener Kaffeehaus (caffetteria viennese) reinterpretata: il classico Melange viene servito come melange alle mandorle, accanto ai classici della pasticceria come la Sachertorte e lo strudel di mele brillano nella vetrina creazioni di pasta frolla francese, e le sale dell'edificio storico sono accattivanti per i loro interni moderni.

It’s a roomy space and the sleek furniture and decor help to contribute towards the relaxed atmosphere. The coffee here keeps diehard caffeine lovers happy and with outdoor seating along the pedestrianized heart of the old town district during the warmer months, it’s the perfect place for an extended afternoon of people-watching—and to soak up one of the best views of Innsbruck, across to the Golden Roof. Favourites: Katzung Torte is their signature cake (a nutty treat without flour)—yet there’s a wide range of tempting cakes and pastries to accompany your coffee.

I have to confess something, as a coffee junkie it is not so easy for me to write this, but the Katzung I love not for his coffee, but for his hot chocolate. Actually, I don't like cocoa that much, not even as a kid did I care for it. For me, there is nothing more disgusting than this "swill", which is mixed with water, cocoa and milk powder and which is served as "hot chocolate" in some places.

Indulge in a delicious breakfast at the renowned 500-year-old Café Katzung, then secure your Innsbruck Card, which gives you access to 22 sights, two cable cars and public transport throughout your journey. Up next is Innsbruck’s landmark, the Golden Roof. It was built for the wedding of Emperor Maximilian I to Bianca Maria Sforza and comprised 2,657 fire-gilded copper tiles.

Das Café Katzung in der Innsbrucker Altstadt ist für mich ein ganz besonderer Ort, den ich gerne besuche und definitiv empfehlen kann. Hinter den historischen Mauern verbirgt sich eine Atmosphäre, die man in kaum einem anderen Café in Innsbruck findet.
