Vienna...city of dreams! Stroll down the Graben and you will come across a house where Mozart once dwelt. Turn the corner and the majestic spires of St.Stephen's Cathedral dazzle the eye. And of course a visit to Vienna would not be complete without several afternoons spent in one of the many coffee houses this historic city boasts. Let's start with two of the most famous...Demel and Sacher.
Cafes in Vienna
Cafe Demel
Demel's is situated at Kohlmart 14 and is now a designated landmark. A short distance away from the Hofburg palace, Demel's is an elegant velvet and mahagony room with crystal chandeliers and highly polished brass rails. Demel's has been, for over 200 years, the caterer and confectioner to the royal court and the exquisite array of sweets and pastries makes it difficult to choose.
Cafe Sacher
Probably the most famous coffee house in Vienna is the Hotel Sacher Cafe. Located at number 4, Philharmonikerstrasse, its visitors, seated on gilt chairs, can look out the window and see the State Opera House across the street. And what will you order? The celebrated Sachertorte, of course! The favorite pastry of the Prince Metternich, it was conceived in 1832 by a young cook, Franz Sacher, who later became the proprietor of a shop near St.Stephen's Cathedral and the rest is history. Enjoy!
