Full description

Palais Ferstel is a mid-19th-century mansion that houses event rooms, a landmark cafe and one of the city's prettiest covered passages. Visitors praise the passage for its old-style design, quiet atmosphere and the long view down its length, along with small shops and cafes on the ground floor.
