Are these details incorrect?

1. Stiegl’s Alte Ambulanz

Excellent draught and bottled beer and hearty snacks, such as huge toasted sandwiches. There’s seating underneath the large chestnut trees in summer. Relaxing atmosphere.
2. Café Berg

A trendy hangout with cosy rattan seating and an adjoining bookshop. Popular with Vienna’s gay community.
3. Cafeteria Maximilian

Located just a stone’s throw from Vienna University, it is not surprising that this lively café is usually crowded with students. Warming cups of tea, coffee and hot chocolate, as well as light snacks such as toasted sandwiches, are on offer.
4. Statt-Beisl WUK

This former 19th-century locomotive factory has been cleverly converted into a cultural centre and operates a café and restaurant.
5. Zwillingsgwölb

Just behind the university is Zwillingsgwölb (twin vaults) with a pleasant café-type restaurant on the ground floor and an atmospheric pub in the cellar.
6. Café Votiv

The charming café within the Votiv cinema is popular with students as well as, of course, cinema-goers before and after film screenings.
7. Gangl

Beer on tap, toasted sandwiches and a cosy atmosphere, as well as seating outside in summer, attracts a loyal crowd of students. Generally crowded.
8. Sigmund Freud Park

On a sunny day the lawns of Sigmund Freud Park, just opposite the university buildings, are inhabited by crowds of students studying, picnicking, sunbathing and debating the latest issues.
9. Café Stein

This hotspot has seating inside and out, and offers a good view of the Votivkirche (see p97). A great choice for a traditional breakfast. It also hosts various cultural events.
10. Charlie P’s

One of the many Irish pubs dotted around the city, Charlie P’s has a particularly lively atmosphere. An essential part of the traditional menu is fish and chips and a pint of Guinness.
