Why Vienna is such a great destination

Vienna


Once the capital of the Habsburger dynasty, Vienna is almost too big for its boots. The city is chock-a-block filled with treasures – from imperial palaces, baroque buildings, stately fountains, art museums, coffee houses, and to top it all, more than 50 percent of Vienna is green, so there are plenty of grand old parks to stroll through.

The Danube river meanders through Vienna which means  river banks and beaches (more than 40 kilometers of beach!!!!!) are close by. Here you can relax, spend time at the beach cafes and restaurants, or play sports.

It makes Vienna the perfect setting for great events and incentives, where we can easily combine sailing or water biking with a city treasure hunt through the old town.  At DMC Vienna, we would be delighted to show you the best that our city has to offer.

Travel Facts

Vienna

Vienna originated in Roman times, when the Romans established the military camp Vindobona. It was not until the thirteenth century, when it fell into the hands of the powerful Habsburg family, the city took a boom that could not hinder the Ottoman threat, Hungarian occupation, plagues, the Thirty Years War or the occupation by Napoleon’s troops!

Today this beautiful old city is characterised by the abundance of Baroque buildings created mostly under the rule of Empress Maria Theresia (1740 – 1780) and Franz Joseph (1848 – 1916), who was largely responsible for the monumental architecture in the city’s centre.

Then it became the capital of the empire of Austria, and experienced a spectacular development during the nineteenth century.

Thus, we discover the historic center, dotted with evidence of its medieval past and memories recalling its rank of capital of empire …

Sacher Torte
Although chocolate cake was not invented in Vienna, the legendary Sacher Torte was.

Baked for the first time in 1832 by the clever baker’s apprentice Franz Sacher, the cake was impressive above all for its taste and design. But the person responsible for the Sacher Torte, which became the most famous of all chocolate cakes, was his son, Eduard Sacher.

By the end of the nineteenth century he had made the Sacher Torte a household name nearly everywhere, thus launching its unparalleled success story. For recipe check below.

Vienna: City of Music

Home to the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, we have one of the best orchestras in the world. Each year there is a New Years Day Concert, held at the Golden Hall of the Musikverein every year on the 1st of January.

The Vienna Boy’s Choir inspires music lovers around the globe with their great voices.

In addition to classical music, Vienna offers jazz fans unique concerts at the Porgy & Bess jazz club, but fans of the electronic music scene can also find their rhythm at unusual locations such as the Danube Canal or the Praterstern.



As your DMC Vienna, we would love to put together the most amazing programs for you and your clients

Sachertorte in our city

When 16-year-old apprentice chef Franz Sacher created the Sachertorte cake at the court of Prince Metternich in 1832, little did he know the impact his cake would have on chocolate lovers worldwide. The recipe for the Original Sacher-Torte is a well-kept secret, known only to confectioners at Hotel Sacher in Vienna.

How to make it:
Step 1:
Melt the chocolate slowly (ideally in a bain-marie). Meanwhile, mix the butter with the icing sugar and vanilla sugar until creamed. Gradually stir in the egg yolks. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C / 356°F.

Step 2:
Grease a cake tin with butter and sprinkle with flour. Whip up the egg whites with a pinch of salt, add the crystal sugar and beat to a stiff peak. Stir the melted chocolate into the paste with the egg yolks and fold in the whipped egg whites alternately with the flour. Fill the dough into the tin and bake for around 1 hour.

Step 3:
Remove the cake and leave to cool off (to achieve a flat surface turn the cake out on to a work surface immediately after baking and turn it again after 25 minutes).
If the apricot jam is too solid, heat it briefly, and stir until smooth, before flavouring with a shot of rum. Cut the cake in half crosswise. Cover the base with jam, set the other half on top, and coat the upper surface and around the edges with apricot jam.

Step 4:
For the glaze, break the chocolate into small pieces. Heat up the water with the sugar for a few minutes. Pour into a bowl and leave to cool down until just warm to the taste (if the glaze is too hot it will become dull in appearance, but if too cold it will become too viscous). Add the chocolate and dissolve in the sugar solution. Pour the glaze quickly, i.e. in a single action, over the cake and immediately spread it out and smooth it over the surface, using a palate knife or other broad-bladed knife. Leave the cake to dry at room temperature.

Serve with a garnish of whipped cream. If possible, do not store the Sachertorte in the fridge, as it will “sweat”.
