Tour details

The emperor did not do his own shopping. But he knew exactly where. The imperial and royal court purveyors were allowed to hang his coat of arms above their door, and some of them still do: Demel on the Kohlmarkt, Lobmeyr with the chandeliers for the Hofburg and the Met, Scheer with the bespoke shoes, Köchert with Empress Elisabeth’s diamond stars, the Schwarzes Kameel with the sandwiches people queue for. On this tour we walk from house to house, and the doors open: a look into the bakery, the last chamber, an order book from the 19th century. You learn what the privilege meant, who lost it, and why Vienna loves its traditional houses so much. With tasting, with time, with people who explain their craft themselves.
