The love month is not over yet hence travelers to Vienna, Austria can still experience romance in the city. Romance in the Austrian capital does not only mean spending time together in romantic spots but also enjoying delicious food and wine in fine dining restaurants.
While Vienna has an abundance of restaurants that offer great Viennese and international cuisine, one that stands out is Schweizerhaus. Its name literally means Swiss house.
Situated in the center of the Prater theme park, the place is a traditional Viennese restaurant closely associated with Prater. It opened way back in 1868 although records have it that the place has been in existence since 1766. At that time, it was still known as Schweizer Hutte and Prater was not yet a public park.
What makes it a romantic dating spot is its unique environment right in the middle of a park always abuzz with activity and people. A large beer garden is in place and subdivided into smaller areas. Each area here is named after a town district of Vienna such as Franz-Josef-Bahnhof, Oberla and Kaisermuhlen.
Viennese specialties offered here include the popular Wiener Schnitzel, goulash but the signature dish is the Schweinsstelzen which features pig’s feet. As for drinks, the Budweiser Budvar beer is very famous here.
Take note, however, that Schweizerhaus is open to the public only starting from March 15 until October 31 of each year.
