eh scho wuascht
Even as a tourist, there are reasons to visit Vienna’s central cemetery, the final resting place of such notables as Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Ligeti, Falco, Adolf Loos, Josef Hoffmann, Theophil Hansen, and many others. If the hunger strikes, I can recommend eh scho wuascht, a traditional sausage shop outside the cemetery’s main entrance (Tor 2). About €6 will buy you a sizable, nicely crisped sausage with a side of mustard and a kaiser roll. I usually opt for the spicy, cheese-filled Käsekrainer, but let your inspiration take you to the road less traveled, be it a Waldviertel, Frankfurter, Bratwurst, or Burenwurst. (Your other option is the Oberlaa pastry shop on the other side of the gate.)
