FOOD CULTURE

When German cuisine is mentioned, the first things that come to mind are pastries, potatoes, and of course beer. In this cuisine, which has a wide variety of meat and vegetables, there is also a very rich selection 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 the surrounding 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 element of the cuisine. “Goulash,” regarded as Hungary’s national dish, is one of the best-known delicacies. 

SHOPPING

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