National traditions of Austria
Many established traditions in the life of the Austrians are associated with leisure activities. In particular, Austrian coffee houses have long been transformed into a memorable national phenomenon known far beyond the borders of this country. The tradition dates back to the end of the 17th century, when the Austrians got a lot of bags of coffee, which the Turks left behind during the set back. Since then, coffee houses have become a place where musicians, writers and other people gather. Today, local people also like to spend time here. Another popular places for pastime are the wine taverns, Heurigen, which are distinguished by a special atmosphere.
