#1 Sacher Torte
Another sweet symbol of Austria is Sacher Torte – a chocolate cake invented in Vienna by 16-year-old Franz Sacher in 1832 for Prince Metternich. Most local cafes offer this specialty and even offer packed versions to take it home with you! If one cake-to-go is not enough, you can always reproduce the famous dessert with this recipe.
#2 Augarten Porcelain
If you would like to spruce up your house with a souvenir from Vienna, Augarten Porcelain is the must-have! The brand comes originally from the Austrian capital and dates back to 1864, when Vienna Porcelain Manufactory – the second porcelain manufactory in Europe – opened. Since its beginnings, the factory cooperated with notable artists, making the Augarten porcelain a real masterpiece. Each porcelain piece is carefully handcrafted and hence unique.
