Genuss-Festival

At the beginning of May, the Vienna Stadtpark will be turned into a place of epicurean delights: The "Genuss-Festival" is a showcase for select culinary specialties from across Austria.

Vienna's largest culinary festival sets up its tents in the Stadtpark again from May 9 to 11, 2025: At the Vienna Culinary Festival, Austria's best food producers and small manufactories invite you to enjoy and taste specialties in one of the most attractive parks in the city. Culinary treats from all of Austria's regions can be sampled at 100 booths and experience stations. The makers are there in person to present their specialties, talk about the production process, and give an insight into their craft.

There are delicacies from forest and field, from the soil, from the water, and a dedicated specialties area. The selection ranges from snails from Vienna to Alpine caviar from Upper Austria and cheese from Tyrol. Chefs from across Austria also serve up tasty treats at the Vienna Culinary Festival.

The Stadtpark is Vienna's oldest public park; it was created in about 1860 when the Vienna city walls were torn down and the Ringstrasse was built. The city's perhaps most photographed monument is also located here – the gold-plated statue of the king of the waltz, Johann Strauss.
