#2 Engelapotheke (Pharmacy): A pharmacy as a tourist attraction? Certainly, if you’re looking for traces of Art Nouveau in Vienna! The story of the Angel Pharmacy reaches back into the 16th century. In 1902, after several relocations, the pharmacy moved into its present home in a typical Art Nouveau building that is still important today.

#3 Art Nouveau Toilet: The first and by far the most beautiful of the city’s underground public lavatories built in the Art Nouveau style.
#4 Austrian Post Savings Bank: The Imperial-Royal Post Office Savings Bank was built between 1904 and 1912 by Otto Wagner, one of the most eminent architects of the beginning of the twentieth century.

#5 Secession: In 1897, Gustav Klimt and a number of other artists quit the conservative Künstlerhaus and founded a new art association called the Secession. The building of the same name was completed in 1898.

#7 Café Rüdigerhof: The Rüdigerhof owes its name to Field Marshal Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg and its appearance to the architect Oskar Marmorek. This student of Otto Wagner had the Rüdigerhof built in 1902 and it became an important Art Nouveau building with its many typical designs and decorations.
