When German cuisine is mentioned, cakes, potatoes and of course beer come to mind first. In this culture, which has a wide variety of meat and vegetables, there is also a great variety of beer and wine.

The flavors and ingredients in Austrian cuisine were largely inherited from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its best-known dish is schnitzel, and meat dishes are predominant.

Czech cuisine has been influenced by all neighboring countries and is a true Central European synthesis.

Hungarian cuisine, regarded as 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 one of the best-known flavors. 

 

ELECTRICITY

Electrical outlets are the same as in Turkey.

 

SHOPPING

There are shopping opportunities at shopping centers in city centers and at small stalls selling souvenirs.
