Viennese sausage stands belong to Vienna. Whether at midday or midnight – the nearest sausage stand isn't far away. We tell you where the get the best and hottest sausages and what an "Eitrige mit an Bugl" is.
Sausage stands are as much a part of Vienna as apple strudel or St. Stephen's Cathedral. The small sausage stands on busy street corners are the first port of call for a quick snack on the go, or to satisfy that ravenous post-party hunger. And since “al fresco dining" has really taken off due to all the lockdowns, some sausage stands now have far more on the menu than the most popular of all combos – a piping-hot, cheese-filled Käsekrainer sausage and the end piece of a loaf of rye bread to go with it.
