Historical route of the coffee houses
Historical journey of coffee houses
Coffee culture is essentially a European phenomenon, closely linked to the history, evolution and culture of Europe itself. In other words, by exploring the history and culture of historic coffee houses, we explore the history and culture of Europe.
This culture exhibits a variety of local and other particularities arising from the historical and cultural conditions of each place. Thus, through the Historical Cafés, important aspects such as cultural diversity and respect for diversity are reinforced, promoted and highlighted.
Historical cafés have also helped to shape a culture of equal sociability between men and women, individuals from all social classes and backgrounds, enabling issues such as equality, equal participation and overcoming all forms of discrimination and exclusion to be addressed. Some cafés in many countries are closely linked to the history of certain ethnic groups, minorities or immigrants/refugees. The influence of Jews on café culture in the Habsburg Empire and later nation states is a prime example.
