Viennese are proving with new strategies resilience during 2nd lockdown: Boom of Austrian online shops with special price offers, Sacher Torte available at the hotel's new Drive-In,...

Today is the 3rd day of the 'hard lockdown' in Austria and it seems as if businesses and people are proving that the resilience trained in the 1st lockdown is applied now to practical strategies for going through the 2nd. Even small stores have extended their activities into the internet and many Austrian online shops offer special price reductions; remote working has become a new normal and the youngest can go to school when necessary.

Hotels (except for business travelers open; embedded FB post below) or gastronomy are closed but can deliver food. Hotel Sacher Vienna for example has established a drive-in service. The legendary Sacher Torte and other confiserie can be collected by car or bicycle at the 'Sacher Drive-In' at the main entrance of the hotel or when by feet also at the Sacher Confiserie at Kärntner Straße. The online shop can be found at shop.sacher.com.
