05 POTATOES: Schwedenplatz (Taste of Vienna Tour)

Gretl Guides: Vienna's FREE audio tour

Located just a few steps away, the busy Schwedenplatz junction lies at the heart of Vienna’s former largest market. Here we address some historical issues of child hunger, hear what Richard the Lionheart has to do with the construction of the Ring Wall, and learn how the humble potato became a staple of modern Austrian cuisine.
A map of the entire route can be found at the embedded link.
