Rick Stein's Long Weekends

Shorts

Vienna

Duration: 9 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two EnglandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Wales

Available for years

This week Rick Stein visits Vienna - the city that once ran the Austro-Hungarian Empire and continues to be home to comfort dishes like tafelspitz and goulash and which gave its name to one of Europe's most popular dishes - the wiener schnitzel.

It even produces its own unique white wine, produced in vineyards overlooking the city's imperial architecture. Whilst enjoying the sights and sounds of home town to Klimt and Freud and the rather eccentric architecture of Hundertwasser, Rick also learns the essential etiquette to its coffee house culture and indulges in the city's sweet tooth by enjoying a plate or two of apple strudel and sacher torte. And no visit to Vienna would be complete without a concert of Mozart or Strauss whose music was undeniably inspired by this unforgettable city. Show less
