Bitzinger Würstelstand Albertina

Vienna, Austria

Vienna's most famous sausage stand, located right behind the Albertina museum and the State Opera. Open since the 1960s, Bitzinger is where opera-goers in formal attire stand next to taxi drivers, all eating Käsekrainer at midnight. A true Viennese institution.

The Käsekrainer is a coarse pork sausage stuffed with pieces of Emmental or similar cheese. When grilled, the cheese melts inside, creating pockets of hot, gooey cheese that can burst through the casing — a beloved feature, not a defect. It's the star of Vienna's famous Würstelstand (sausage stand) culture.
