I visited Vienna, Austria in April 2023. It was a bit disappointing that there were many buildings under construction, but I definitely want to come back next time to see it all restored. The atmosphere of Vienna was still great.

Nestled between serene alpine lakes and towering mountains, Hallstatt is a picture-perfect destination that feels like stepping into a dream. But beyond its postcard beauty, this Austrian gem offers a chance to travel sustainably while preserving its charm for future generations. Exploring Hallstatt on foot or by e-bike allows you to soak in its stunning scenery without adding to its carbon footprint. I wandered through the car-free Old Town, admiring pastel-hued houses and flower-laden balconies, embracing the slow travel experience. A boat ride across Hallstätter See, powered by electric motors, offered breathtaking reflections of the Dachstein Alps. Sustainability also shines through in local dining—fresh, organic produce from nearby farms and freshly caught fish from the lake make for delicious, eco-friendly meals. I opted for a traditional fish dish at a family-run lakeside restaurant, supporting local businesses and reducing food miles. Hallstatt may be famous for its beauty, but its commitment to sustainability makes it even more enchanting. Let’s travel responsibly and protect these magical places for generations to come. #earthdayjourney #SustainableTravel #Hallstatt #EcoFriendlyAdventures

Hallstatt is a village in the Salzkammergut region of Upper Austria, located on the shores of Lake Hallstatt at an altitude of 511 meters. In December 2005, there were 923 residents, and by 2015, there were 1,221 residents. The "Hall" in Hallstatt may come from the ancient Celtic word for "salt," named after the salt mines near the village, which historically made the region wealthy. Therefore, it is also known as "the most beautiful town in the world" or "the oldest salt town in the world," and is a "famous romantic destination." Recommended attractions ‌Lake Hallstatt‌: This lake was formed by glacial activity, and its clear waters reflect the surrounding mountains. You can rent a boat to enjoy the scenery on the lake or take a walk along the lakeside path‌. ‌Postcard Viewpoint‌: This is the best spot in town for taking photos, where you can capture beautiful postcard-worthy pictures‌. ‌‌Salt Mine‌: This salt mine has a history of over 7,000 years. You can take a cable car to visit and experience the unique scenery inside the mine and the miner's slide‌. Central Square The square is surrounded by a circle of old houses and the spire of a Protestant church, and the trees next to the houses are very distinctive. In the center of the square, there is a sculpture and a fountain, where you can experience the strong local lifestyle. A stroll around the square will give you a sense of the town's tranquility and beauty. There are also many restaurants and souvenir shops around the square, where you can taste local specialties and buy souvenirs. Recommended food In Hallstatt, you can taste a variety of local specialties, such as Austrian roast pork ribs, Black Forest cake, apple pie, etc.‌ In addition, the town's bakeries and pastry shops also offer a variety of delicious bread and cakes‌. Transportation Take a train from Vienna to Hallstatt, and spend half a day exploring the town. If you have more time, you can also take a boat ride on Lake Hallstatt.

We booked a three-bedroom loft apartment, and it was exactly as shown in the pictures—everything was clean and tidy. From the bedroom windows, you can see mountains and lakes on three sides, and from the living room balcony, you can see the village of Hallstatt. The rooms are equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and cooking. The owners provide essentials like tea, coffee, salt, sugar, and basic cooking oil. The apartment also has many games, puzzles, and books that my children loved. They also have a sun deck by the lake, which is a great spot for a quick picnic. The apartment is very close to all the places you want to visit in Hallstatt, yet it is very quiet and away from the tourist hustle and bustle. Hallstatt Lahn (bus/boat station) is a 4-minute walk from the apartment, and we had no trouble dragging our suitcases from there to the apartment. There is a children's park 50 meters from the apartment, which the kids loved. Supermarkets and restaurants are also nearby. The owners are very nice. They live on the first floor. They helped us move our luggage to the second floor (where we stayed) and let us use the washing machine (+ dryer) where we washed all our clothes. They even brought some bread so the kids could feed the swans on the sun deck. I will definitely stay here again the next time I visit Hallstatt.

The salt mines in Hallstatt have a very long history. They were originally on the seabed tens of thousands of years ago, but were uplifted into mountains by the compression of the plates, and these thousand-year-old crystallized salt mines are treasured in this mountain 511 meters above sea level. The tour experience here is held every half an hour. If you buy your ticket on the spot, you shouldn't have to wait too long. After the ticket is checked, you need to change into a miner's uniform and queue up with the staff to receive it, and then return it after the tour. There are two wooden slides in the salt mine. In the past, they were tools for miners to move to the lower level. Now they are the highlight of the tour that excites tourists. With a length of 64 meters, it is also the longest wooden slide in Europe. The tour guide will ask everyone to line up one by one. There is also a traffic light sign above, which is super cute. You can slide down alone or with two people. There is also a small screen above to help you take pictures. After that, we walked all the way in the underground salt mine. Salt crystals can be seen everywhere on the walls. Since 1960, excavation projects have been carried out here every year to continuously study the historical trajectory of mine excavations over the past thousand years. There are also many installations in the tunnels, like a natural indoor museum, allowing tourists to learn about the stories of the past. There was also a wonderful light show that depicted the life of the prehistoric people of Hallstatt in the dim salt caves and salt lakes. I personally felt that it was very thoughtful. The final climax was when everyone got on the transport cart and rushed out of the center of the earth together, shuttling through the narrow salt cave at a very fast speed, which was really exciting. #EuropeanTown #AustriaTravel #Hallstatt Salt Mine #100 Ways to Travel

Avicii's 'The Nights' lyrics have always been my life motto: 'One day you'll leave this world behind, so leave a life you will remember.' Backpacking through Europe has always been my dream. So, I started researching a year ago - from choosing suitable countries, planning my itinerary, annual leaves, figuring out transportation, accommodations, medicines, anti-theft measures, weather-appropriate clothing, and packing techniques. I also put effort into dressing for fluctuating temperatures (from 5°C to 46°C). This seemingly unattainable dream slowly became a reality, step by step. Finally, it has come to an end after a month-long journey! Now, I'll share with you the fascinating, thrilling, and enjoyable experiences of my solo travel. This has been a life-changing experience for me. If you are contemplating going on a solo adventure, stay tuned for my stories. 5 countries within 30 days: Budapest: 4 days | Austria: 7 days | Iceland: Around the Island (group tour): 10 days | Copenhagen: 8 days | Dubai: 2 days I would say this itinerary is a pretty comfortable, chill and relaxing one. I originally planned my itinerary to '12 countries', given all these countries are just next to each other, I was in a dilemma to choose among all of them! Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Croatia, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, and the United Arab Emirates. However, considering various factors - including body condition, luggage, personal preferences, I opted for the first route. Stay tune for more of my stories, including my experience, expenses, preparation and itineraries for this trip! #awesomepic #awesomepic #solo #solotravel #Iceland #Copenhagen #Budapest #love #丹麦 #冰岛 #photo #Malaysian #timetotravel #trip #tripcom

Came here for a night whilst solo backpacking. A day for me is enough to see the highlights of Vienna. Night life was okayish to be honest. But sightseeings are so pretty. The architectures are next level and would highly recommend everyone to visit the city!! I went solo and met amazing solo travelers there. I was never alone. I went during spring the weather is just perfect. Not too hot and not too cold! #austrianstyletown #vienna #solo

One thing that we like the most when we go abroad is walking around convenience stores. We get to walk around and see food, local products, and get excited about things that are different from our home country. This is the charm of traveling abroad. Today, we will take you to Unimarkt. Everything here closes very early. From 6:30 to 7:00 p.m., they start to close. So we have to hurry. There are a lot of products here: vegetables, fruits, bakery goods, bread, condiments, drinking water, soft drinks, fresh food. Simply put, if the hotel can cook, you won't starve when you go to the supermarket. Haha. What about everyone? Do you like walking around the supermarket when you go abroad? Let's share some stories with each other. #Austria

I left Vienna and visited Cesky Budejovice The town was smaller than my hometown and so cute I just slept for a dayㅋㅋ I walked around the square and bought some delicious foodㅎㅎ It was a leisurely place. #AustriaTravel #SoloTravel #CeskyBudejovice

📍Cafe Sacher (Philharmonikerstrasse 4, Vienna 1010 Austria) The famous Sacher Torte!! (⸝⸝˘𖥦˘⸝⸝) I really wanted to try it when I went to Austria, so I went to the original! Cafe Sacher〰️ And why does Vienna come to mind? I also had Viennese coffee👍🏻 As expected of the original, there were a lot of tourists as well as locals, so I remember waiting for a long time...! When we went in, we were guided to the second floor seats ❛ ֊ ❛ They said it was a rich chocolate cake with apricot jam, but it didn't taste like apricot jam? It was a bitter chocolate cake! It was so delicious ~ Rather than just a monumental feeling? ㅎ ㅎ #Austria travel #Vienna travel #Europe travel #Hot cafe #Eat list #Memories selling #Dessert #Travel addiction #Eastern Europe #Sachertorte #Cake

Are you missing a long trip? Today, I'll review some old trip photos to ease your longing. In case anyone is missing Europe already. @ Salzburg is the 4th largest city in Austria and the capital of the state of Salzburg. Salzburg's old town and Baroque architecture are among the best preserved city centers. The city's atmosphere is as beautiful as a painting. When the country opens, pin it and go! #EuropeTrip

Schönbrunn Palace (German: Schloss Schönbrunn [ʃøːnˈbʁʊn]; Central Bavarian: Schloss Scheenbrunn) was the main summer residence of the Habsburg rulers, located in Hietzing, Vienna. The name Schönbrunn (meaning “beautiful spring”) has its roots in an artesian well from which water was consumed by the court. In 1569, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II purchased a large floodplain of the Wien river beneath a hill, situated between Meidling and Hietzing. The former owner, in 1548, had erected a mansion called Katterburg. The emperor ordered the area to be fenced and put game there such as pheasants, ducks, deer and boar, in order for it to serve as the court's recreational hunting ground. In a small separate part of the area, “exotic” birds such as turkeys and peafowl were kept. Fishponds were also built. #popularswing#beautifulsunsets#bestislandtraveltowns

When I wore Thai clothes to travel in Europe Superstars prepare Thai clothes to wear while walking around cities during the European tour I bought a tour package to travel to Europe and went to the following countries: Switzerland-Liechtenstein-Auatria-Hungary-Slovakia-Czech Republic-Germany. I prepared only one Thai outfit to walk around the cities. In fact, I wore it for 3 days (2-3 hours per day). While traveling around the cities, many foreigners looked at me and smiled. Most of them just asked what country I was from. Is this a national costume? And complimented me that the costume was beautiful. There were both foreigners and Thais who were traveling and asked to take pictures. The Thais asked if I was wearing a Thai costume. I just answered that there was no show. I just wanted to wear a Thai costume to walk around and let foreigners know more about Thailand. In fact, I only wore it to travel in Austria (I was afraid that it would smell if I wore it for several days. 555) #SuperstarTraveller #suptartraveller #TipOfTheWorld #cityoverlook #buffetreview #cafereview #secretlocation

🇦🇹Vienna, Austria🇦🇹 Delicious restaurant Near Vienna Central Station, Das Columbus Austria is said to be the home of ribs, and I came to appreciate it after visiting Das Columbus 6v6 French fries are just decoration. The ribs are 6 pieces, but they are much more filling than 10 pieces! It's a bit exaggerated, but they are as thick as a person's wrist and have a lot of meat attached🍖 It's the icing on the cake if you dip them in sauce!! The hamburger is also delicious, but the price is a bit high. If it were me, I would eat more ribs.....!! The hall is very spacious, and there is a cafe on the side. The staff are also friendly and keep asking if you need anything~ They don't ask for tips, so I remember giving a little more! If you go near the Austrian train central station, you must try it🍗 #DeliciousRestaurantExploration #AustriaTravel #ViennaTravel

Hiking in Austria is the best thing you can do during the summer months. Enjoying the landscape by foot is the best way to explore the beautiful country.

Soaking in the golden light during autumn with such a view, what an experience!

Exploring the Salzkammergut region during autumn will leave you speechless.

Starting from Vienna, this two-day, one-night itinerary begins with: 1. Wolfgangsee Tourism Company Located just a short distance to the upper left of Hallstatt Lake, this spot offers a closer experience to the lakeside. There are lounge chairs set up by the lake where you can relax and enjoy the sunshine. The Austrian coffee here is highly recommended! Next, head to the famous destination: 2. Hallstatt Lake For this trip, an overnight stay at a local guesthouse is planned. In the evening, visit the postcard-perfect location at the Parish Church of the Assumption to capture the twilight and illuminated views of Hallstatt Lake. The next morning, take photos of the lake during daylight. Additionally, there's a small ossuary chapel on a nearby hill that's quite fascinating to explore.

#JulyGoodPlace2025 #Austria #Hallstatt #SaltCave #CableCar Hallstatt Lake in Austria is a must-visit attraction for travelers and a place that everyone should visit once in their lifetime. This time, I will share two mountaintop caves around it. You need to arrange at least half a day to experience each one slowly. First, I will introduce Maria Theresia Stollen behind the lakeside area. The salt cave and the Hallstatt Skywalk in front of it. You need to walk a little further to take the cable car up. The whole experience of the salt cave is very cool. First, put on work clothes, then visit, there will be a short slide, and then take a small train out. You can take pictures of the lake on the skywalk, which is super beautiful. Next, we need to move. We need to take the cable car to Winkl b.Obertraun Dachsteinseilbahn Talstation, and then we will start hiking and visit Dachstein Mammoth Cave. It is called the Mammoth Cave, but there are no mammoths inside. The cave is a work of nature, with many icicles inside, which is very magical. #长毛毛洞 #Dachstein #maria #爬行 #哈塞塔特天空轨迹
