Food and Drink - Vienna
Last Updated: 7th Jun 2012
Although Austria is famous for schnitzel and schnaps this is only the surface of what the capital of Vienna has to offer the traveling connoisseur.
Cafes and Coffee Houses
Viennese coffee house culture is famous the world over. Sit back and relax in a street side cafe or maybe take the time to search out one of opulent rooms of some of the city’s more classy establishments.
Strudel and Sachertorte
Coffee however is just the beginning with a delectable variety of authentic Austrian strudel, pastries and cakes available, the least of which is the famous ‘sachertorte’ chocolate cake.
Schnaps
One thing the Austrians take very seriously is their schnaps. Liquors are distilled from almost anything the Austrians can get their hands on to produce a myriad of tastes from the sweet and creamy to the herbal and bitter. Most Contiki tours visiting Vienna offer an excursion to the Old Vienna Schaps Museum giving you the chance to learn a little about one of Austria’s most famous exports, and more importantly, sample some of the finest schnaps in the country.

The pretty future time I read through a website, Hopefully it isn’t going to disappoint me just like considerably as this individual one. In any case, Yes, it was my option to read, on the other hand I truly thought you’ll most likely have some thing intriguing to talk about. All I hear can be a bunch of complaining about something which you can deal with in the event you were not far too chaotic looking for interest.

I�m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that�s equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I found this in my hunt for something concerning this.

Christmas Markets in Vienna are great. Buy some mulled wine (Gluhwein in German)which is served hot and is quite spicy. The mug it comes in is yours to keep - a great souvenir -but if you don't want it return it and get your €2 deposit back (Pfand).
I travelled on the European Contrasts tour in May 2006 with my boyfriend. We had 5 couples on our tour. We all had a great time and did not have any hassles being that we were couples.
Definitely go see a Broadway show. You can get cheap tickets on the day that you want…Just ask your TM
