At the beginning of May, the Vienna Stadtpark will be turned into a place of epicurean delights: The “Genussfestival” will be a showcase for select culinary specialties from Austria. Sumptuously laid table in front of the Johann Strauss memorial in City Park A table with groceries. Vienna escargot, delicious Vienna ham, Carinthian honey, spicy cheese from Vorarlberg: At the "Vienna Genussfestival" from May 6 to 8 2011, the best Austrian food producers and small manufactories invite you to sample and savor in one of the city's prettiest parks. In addition to about 100 exhibitors, top Austrian chefs will serve you regional specialties. The 2011 Genussfestival is being held for the fourth time already; last year there were over 90,000 visitors in the Stadtpark. The festival of pleasure in the Stadtpark will be accompanied by a supporting program with demonstrations and tastings. The Stadtpark is Vienna's oldest public park; it was created when the Vienna city walls were torn down and the Ringstrasse build in 1860. The city's perhaps most photographed monument is also located here - the gold-plated stature of the king of waltz, Johann Strauss. |
