I must admit it is true the Sacher Torte is the best chocolate cake I have ever tasted! I was sceptical but there is something so decadent about that dark sponge and apricot jam centre! Created by Franz Sacher in 1832 - it is only available in Vienna or Salzburg but is a true Viennese speciality.

About Austria
Austria is renowned for its stunning alpine landscapes, wooden chalets, winter sports activities and being the ubiquitous location for the filming of 'The Sound of Music'. Away from the Tyrolean countryside, Austria’s imperial capital, Vienna, enjoys a world-renowned reputation as much for its coffee houses and delicate pastries as for its musical and cultural events and particularly for its lavish balls, where nights are waltzed away to the melodies of its native Mozart and Strauss.

Where can you find Austria's best palaces?
Three of Austria’s best palaces can be found in its capital, Vienna: Schönbrunn Palace has 1,441 rooms and was the summer residence of the powerful Hapsburg family who ruled much of Europe and was modelled in Baroque style on the Palace of Versailles. Belvedere Palace, pictured above served as a summer home for Austria’s greatest military hero, Prince Eugene of Savoy and was designed by Johann Lukas von Hilderbrandt, the last major architect of the Baroque period in Austria. Hofburg Palace was the winter palace of the Hapsburgs and dates from 1279. Today, the sprawling palace houses everything from the offices of the President of Austria to the Spanish Riding School with its famous Lipizzaner stallions and even the Vienna Boys’ Choir!
