FOOD CULTURE
When German cuisine is mentioned, the first things that come to mind are cakes, potatoes, and of course beer. In this culture, which offers a wide variety of meat and vegetables, there is also a great variety of beer and wine.
Much of the flavor and ingredients in Austrian cuisine were inherited from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its best-known dish is schnitzel, and meat dishes are predominant.
Czech cuisine has been influenced by all the surrounding countries and is a true Central European synthesis.
Hungarian cuisine, considered one of the world’s most important cuisines, is quite colorful and rich. Meat dishes are common, and freshly made homemade pasta is also an important part of the cuisine. “Goulash,” considered the Hungarian national dish, is among the best-known flavors.
SHOPPING
Shopping is available at shopping centers located in city centers and at small stalls selling souvenirs.
