Austria is a magical country with enchanting landscapes, picture-perfect meadows and grasslands, stunning architecture, and music coursing through its veins.
Beware, sweet-toothed visitors to Austria. Almost every street in Austria has at least one bakery, and Austrians are so passionate about their confectionery that they have declared themselves the self-proclaimed capital of cake.
Hallstatt
Hallstatt is situated in central Austria, close to Salzburg. Lakes and mountains surround it, and it is home to elegant churches, ancient hotels, and lovely cottages. Many consider it “the most beautiful town in Europe” because of its unique scenery.
Hallstatt, like Berchtesgaden, became wealthy in Austria due to its salt mines hundreds of years ago. Hallstatt is home to the world’s oldest salt mine, which is well worth visiting. The visit includes a train ride inside the salt mine, so it’s well worth it.
Gruner see
The emerald green waters of Gruner see in Austria are a true fairytale sight; this Lake is home to an underwater park, complete with benches and a bridge, and was once a summertime favourite for divers. But diving is now prohibited in the region.
The grass and foliage beneath give the Lake its distinctive green colour and name, and the ice-cold water is crystal clear thanks to the fresh snowmelt. The Lake’s temperature ranges from 4 to 8 degrees Celsius. Still, it’s popular among divers who can see the green meadows along the Lake’s edge, especially in June when the water level is at its highest. Under the water, the alpine grasses and flowers of the meadow are in full bloom.
Vienna
Vienna is Austria’s capital and the largest city, and one of the country’s nine states.
Vienna has often been voted the most livable city in the world. The parks, the Vienna Woods, and the vineyards are three of the reasons. Because Vienna consistently ranks at the top of several world city rankings, it is frequently regarded as the best city in the world. It is primarily due to its excellent safety record, modern and efficient public transportation, and environmental factors such as low pollution and plenty of green space.
And so, the adventure in Vienna begins!
Salzburg
Salzburg has much more to offer visitors than Mozart and the Von Trapp family. It is a charming, cultural, and romantic city with numerous attractions and activities.
