Vienna's Culinary History Audio Tour
Food has always been part of how Vienna tells its story. Over centuries, imperial rule, migration, and shifting borders influenced how the city developed, and Vienna’s cuisine evolved alongside these changes. Ingredients arrived from across Europe, cooking traditions met and adapted, and familiar dishes gradually took on the forms we recognize today. Let us take you on a journey of flavors through this evolving story with our brand-new Vienna’s Culinary History Audio Tour.
This unique Audio Food Tour begins at Schwedenplatz and ends by the Vienna State Opera. It includes 28 different stops – Cafes, restaurants, ice cream parlours, unique shops, hot dog stands and more. Narrated by a professional voice actor, this culinary audio tour offers a self-guided experience focused on storytelling and history. Each stop adds another layer to Vienna’s culinary culinary story, connecting dishes, legends, and traditions into one continuous narrative. Along the route, selected partner shops offer exclusive discounts. If you choose to use them, the savings can easily be worth more than the price of the Audio Guide itself.
