Traditional Sweet Dishes
Sachertorte
Sachertorte was created in 1832 by Franz Sacher for Prince Metternich, its dense chocolate cake layered with apricot jam and a glossy chocolate glaze sparked a famous rivalry between the Sacher family and a Viennese pastry house.

Tafelspitz
Tafelspitz was a beloved dish of Emperor Franz Joseph, it is gently simmered beef served with horseradish and apple condiments and prized for its clear, savory broth.

Goulash came to Vienna from Hungary and evolved into a thick, paprika-spiced stew that became a tavern and railway-station staple, often enjoyed with bread or dumplings.
Traditional Beverages
Austrian Wine
Austria is renowned for Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, its white wines tend to be crisp and peppery, and strict local quality traditions help tiny vineyards produce world-class bottles.

Sturm
Sturm is partially fermented grape must available only in autumn, it is sweet, cloudy and fizzy, and Austrians celebrate the short season with harvest festivals and barrel tastings.

Ho adorato la cultura dei caffè, la sachertorte non mi ha convinto. Gli inverni sono più freddi del previsto, porta strati.

Check museum websites for late-entry discounts or special hours, we saved a lot by going during extended evenings.
Stephansplatz è caotica a mezzogiorno, ma le vie laterali tranquille sono magiche. Il servizio nei luoghi turistici può essere lento.

Buy a 24/48/72 hour Wiener Linien pass from machines or the app, way cheaper per ride than singles.
