## Frequently asked questions

### Where are the best hidden bars in Vienna?

Many of Vienna's finest bars sit behind unmarked doors, which is why Avellera created Behind the unmarked door. You step through an unmarked entrance to a bartender who is expecting you, then continue to three or four rooms most visitors never find. Avellera arranges the evening privately as part of a tailor-made Vienna journey, so the right seats are waiting.

### Is Vienna good for cocktails and nightlife?

Yes. Vienna's bar culture is quietly one of the best in Europe, though much of it is easy to miss. Behind the unmarked door, available all year, shows you that side of the city after dark, from an unmarked entrance onward. Avellera plans the evening around your dinner and your energy, so it can be a single elegant drink or a longer night.

Tell Avellera your travel dates and wishes, and the Vienna team builds Behind the unmarked door into a private, tailor-made journey through Vienna and Austria, together with hotels, transfers and guides.
