Food stories in Vienna
You will definitely taste the sweet chimney cake which is coming out of the oven and while it is still hot they sprinkle it with chocolate, candies and all you can imagine. We suggest you try it in its pure original version, which is no other than cinnamon and sugar! Of course, in Vienna you have to try chocolate or maybe we should say chocolates! All sorts of chocolates can be found throughout the pedestrian area of the city center of Vienna and wonderfully decorated stores are waiting for you to visit them and try all kind of chocolates!

Of course while in Vienna, you cannot miss drinking Viennese chocolate, although we did not notice any difference with the classic ones but let’s say that you owe it to the city.
For the lovers of the street food hot dogs and sausages – wurstels are all around the city… They are really convenient in terms of budget and taste and of course it is a must especially while visiting Christmas festive markets! Lst but not least the classic old-fashioned schnitzel can also be found in every restaurant in the center of Vienna at affordable prices and in satisfactory portions!
The center of Vienna is very easy to walk around. In fact, there is one main ring road that encapsulates the city center, making it hard to get lost! There is a lot to see on different sides of the city, so the easiest way to get around is via the U-Bahn
