A Piece of Latin America in Vienna: Event Week at Gleis//Garten with Art and Cuisine

At the Vienna Gleis//Garten, just 15 minutes from the Westbahnhof, the Latin Week will take place from March 10 to 16 with various program highlights, including salsa lessons and language courses. Through the cooperation with the Austrian Latin America Institute, visitors to the Gleis//Garten will gain interesting insights into Latin American culture and traditions in the coming week. "In a unique combination of information, education, and cultural center, we see ourselves as bridge builders between Latin America and Austria. We combine language learning with intercultural knowledge and the Latin American way of life," says Andrea Eberl, Director of the Austrian Latin America Institute. As a specialized institution of the Vienna Adult Education Centers, the institute offers a diverse program in the areas of language and cultural mediation, social politics, and research.

Foodies Will Get Their Money's Worth with Latin American Cuisine at the Vienna Gleis//Garten

A wide selection of culinary delights from Latin America is offered by the food stand Mixtura Latina. The diverse menu includes not only nachos but also empanadas, typical pastries, sweet churros, and many other specialties. During the Latin Week, the restaurateurs around chef Mariel Coromoto Pacheco Serrano from Venezuela will also prepare mezcal, tequila, and other Latin drinks directly at the Gleis//Garten.

Not only does Mixtura Latina bring Latin American flavors to the plate, but the other food stands at the Gleis//Garten also surprise with creative fusion dishes where Latin American and Austrian influences meet. Particularly recommended is the so-called "Plato para compartir" for three people. "We are happy to serve our guests a platter of various authentic samples from our homeland to share," says Mariel Coromoto Pacheco Serrano from Mixtura Latina. Incidentally, the food stand is present at the Gleis//Garten all year round.
