Candies & Viennese Sweets – A Sweet History of Viennese Delight

'Zuckerl' is much more than just another word for candy in Vienna. The term is part of everyday Austrian language and evokes memories in many people of small candy shops, colorful jars of sweets, and the joy of being allowed to pick out a special variety.

The history of 'Zuckerln' in Vienna goes back a long way. Especially in the 19th century, candies became increasingly affordable for the general population. At the same time, numerous Viennese confectioneries and candy manufacturers emerged. As early as 1861, there were around 240 sugar and cake bakers in Vienna, and by the end of the century, there were significantly more. The range at that time already extended from fruit candies and caramels to filled sweets and chocolate candies.

Our selection of candies and Viennese 'Zuckerln' builds on this vibrant confectionery culture. Fruity, sweet, creamy, or classic flavors ensure that almost everyone finds their personal favorite candy.

For visitors in Vienna, candies are also a particularly uncomplicated souvenir. They are light, easy to transport, and wonderful to share with family, friends, or colleagues. Instead of a typical souvenir for the shelf, you take home something that can actually be enjoyed together.

And perhaps that is exactly what is typical of a good Viennese 'Zuckerl': it is small, brings joy, and reminds you of a special moment from your trip with a single taste.

Whether as a souvenir from Vienna, a small gift, or simply for your own sweet stash – candies and Viennese 'Zuckerln' are a charming way to take a piece of Viennese culinary culture home with you.
