If you are a coffee lover then you may have had the pleasure of sampling different brews and roasts when you’ve been travelling overseas. You may also have had the misfortune of sampling some not-so-great coffees on your travels. It will come as no surprise that some countries and cities are much better at the whole coffee thing than others. Here are 5 top picks for you if you’re thinking of travelling somewhere and love coffee!
- Melbourne, Australia
This may come as a surprise to some people, but Melbourne has a superb coffee culture that’s worth the trip for any coffee enthusiast. Despite the vastness of the city, wherever you go, you’ll be able to experience delicious roasts and you won’t be hard up for choice when it comes to finding a great coffee house.
- Vienna, Austria
There is nothing quite like sipping a delightful coffee in the heart of Vienna as you people watch. The old city is full of wonderful cafés, but if you want a truly authentic experience, bypass the grand old coffee houses in favour of quieter spots. Start in the 5th – 8th districts of the city to find smaller, authentic coffee houses.
- Rome, Italy
No coffee destination list would be complete without an Italian destination. Rome is overflowing with coffee culture, and you don’t have to go more than ten paces when you’re in the city centre to find a good espresso or cappuccino. To truly experience Roman coffee culture, make sure to sit down and enjoy your drink rather than getting it to go!
- Istanbul, Turkey
Coffee is one of the most important cultural heritages of Turkey, and as a result, you’ll be able to try the most exquisite coffee throughout all of Turkey. In Istanbul, drinking coffee is a whole experience in itself. You’ll find your drink served with a glass of water and sweet treats, and you’ll be expected to take your time over your coffee drinking experience!
- Reykjavik, Iceland
Scandinavians take their coffee very seriously, and Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik is no exception. You’ll find hosts of speciality coffee shops, and to really get the most of them, make sure you order an espresso based drink!
