One of their favorite snack is the Langos, a deep fried bred dough topped with cheese and sour cream as savory or powdered sugar/jam as sweet snack. We always recommend Alte Post Restaurant where delicious traditional food is served.
For souvenirs guests usually go for traditional, handmade gifts, easy to transport. Many of these are wooden spoons, small jewelry or even T-shirts.
