I can confirm that the Metalab Hackerspace is awesome and well worth heading along to. They were very welcoming, have great resources and friendly people. I ended up staying in Vienna for two weeks (originally had planned only one) after being invited there after meeting a number of people from Metalab at 25C3 in Berlin. Really great for nocturnal people like me too--I think there was only once during the two weeks that I was hanging out at Metalab that someone said "Oh, hey, you're going to have to go now 'cos the last person with a key is leaving". And that was at 8:30am in the morning after being there all night. :) They have a really well equipped electronics/maker lab/workshop--I did my first PCB etching there. And they let me make use of the facilities on a pay for what you use basis for the time I was visiting. Can't tell you much about the city though. :)
