Bosna Stand is a small, well-known sausage stand near Salzburg's Getreidegasse serving bosna, a spiced grilled bratwurst topped with onions and a distinctive curry-spiced sauce that has developed a cult following among locals since the dish's introduction to the city decades ago. The sausage is grilled to order and served in a split roll with the toppings layered on top, a format specific to the bosna style rather than the more common Viennese würstel presentation.

Legendary Balkan sausage stand in Salzburg near Getreidegasse. The bosna (spicy bratwurst with onions and curry) is a local cult favorite. Quick, cheap, and delicious. Cash only standing room.

Käsekrainer is also available for those preferring the classic cheese-filled sausage. The stand offers only standing room, in keeping with the informal, fast style of Austrian street-food culture, and transactions are cash only. Prices are low even by street-food standards, and the location near Getreidegasse, one of Salzburg's busiest shopping streets, keeps the stand steadily busy with shoppers and visitors throughout the day. There is no seating beyond the standing counter, no phone contact, and no reservations, making it a quick, walk-up stop rather than a sit-down meal.
