Why We Started
Vienna is a city of elegance and efficiency, but only if you know where exactly to look. After one too late-night emergency pharmacy runs and having experienced the bureaucratic processes of Vienna local services amidst a confusing and sometimes conflicting closed door weekend routine, we realized Vienna needed a no-nonsense directory and local hands on guide to save others the time and stress when faced with the same dilemma posed by the city. After Mavericks spent years as an international migrant navigating Vienna’s bureaucratic quirk (Arguing with landlords in broken German and hunting down weekend doctors), this blog was born from a simple idea: What if finding emergency help or a €10 gym day pass did require insider local knowledge? Pulse of Vienna (Pulsewien) was founded in 2024 by Mavericks, a Vienna resident, building on his local expertise as every listing is physically verified in person, with no fluff but just clear, actionable information and a community driven collaborations using user tips, reviews and experiences to keep our guides accurate and up to date.
