Sweet Vienna
A city of chocolate and sweet temptations ... irresistable!
When one thinks about eating and drinking in Vienna, the Viennese coffee houses (Kaffeehäuser), with all their delicious cakes and sweets, will be the first thing to come to your mind.
Elsewhere, coffee houses are often seen as places where you usually don't stay longer than a few minutes, but it is quite natural in Austria to sit for hours reading the paper, writing postcards or working, while enjoying a delicious Sachertorte, Gugelhupf or Apfelstrudel with your coffee.
At the turn of the century coffee houses were cultural centres; meeting points for poets and writers who found themselves inspired by the special atmosphere which can still be found in traditional places like the Cafe Sacher or the K.u.K. Hofbäckerei Demel.
To extend your experience and give your legs some rest from sightseeing, why not use one of the chess boards available in many places and treat yourself with an extra piece of delicious apple strudel!?
