In Search of Schnitzel in Vienna
Blog: Suzy Guese - 8 February 2012
It is so quiet you could hear my fork drop on the plate ever so lightly, that is, if I ever put it down. My waiter makes certain to place my Erdäpfel-Vogerlsalat, a vinegary potato salad with lamb’s lettuce, down in such a manner that I wouldn’t ever have to give my fork a rest. [...]

Picture Perfect: Pretty Churches in Europe
Blog: The Art of Slow Travel - 1 February 2012
This post is part of a new series entitled ‘Picture Perfect’, published because of my wish to showcase some beautiful travel shots from around the world which didn’t quite make it into regular blog posts or which tell a story on their own and need few words, if any, to describe them. I grew up [...]

Schloss Schonbrunn, Vienna: A splash of colour in the Grey
Blog: The Art of Slow Travel - 30 January 2012
The sky was grey, colourless. Most trees had long shed their leaves, the shrubs shrivelled and lost their green. Little colour was left apart from the slightly tired-looking lawn, but it was not hard to image how magnificent the Schloss Schonbrunn’s gardens would look come Spring and Summer, mainly because a few months earlier, Kristina [...]

Buildings on Aesthetic Steroids: The Hofburg, Vienna
Blog: The Art of Slow Travel - 23 January 2012
*Cue atmospheric instrumental music. Switch on fog machine, set on low. Imagine Anthony Bourdain’s sexy low voice, though actually it’s me, Denise, but his voice sounds much nicer.* …Where am I? Is this a dream? Everywhere I turn metallic green statues of proud men on horses gaze at me from their high pedestals. Buildings so [...]

Vienna: More time, less phlegm
Blog: The Art of Slow Travel - 21 January 2012
Every trip we take automatically becomes associated with something. For me, Seoul conjures up images of spicy food and super-trendy youths. Budapest makes me think of cold, Art Nouveau, and more cold. Did I mentioned the cold? Bali reminds me of pools, and crashing waves, and bad food. And Vienna will, unfortunately, forever be associated [...]

The Best Christmas Markets in the World*
Blog: Inside the Travel Lab - 23 December 2011
So, to celebrate gingerbread, gluhwein and twinkling bright lights, I bring you this post: the Best Christmas Markets in the World. (Only, it's not really the whole world. Just the countries between Turkey and Germany. But let's face it, that wouldn't make such a good title...

Lady in Innsbruck
Blog: A Lady in London - 21 December 2011
Most people travel to Innsbruck for the skiing. The city’s airport is famous for being located just 10 minutes from the slopes and close to some of the best skiing in Austria. But there are things to do in Innsbruck in the wintertime that don’t involve skis, and I was excited to discover them when [...]

Lady in Salzburg
Blog: A Lady in London - 20 December 2011
After a week in sunny Brazil, I returned to the UK with just a week and a half to go until Christmas. I was ready to get back into the winter spirit, complete with snow. Lucky for me, I had been invited to fly on easyJet’s inaugural flight from London Luton Airport to Salzburg, Austria. [...]

Paragliding and Adventure Sports in Tyrol, Austria
Blog: Living the Dream: RTW - 16 December 2011
The Tyrol region of Austria is known for its beautiful scenery high in the Alps. Picturesque villages are plenty and each make you feel like you are a part of the Sound of Music. As much as running over the hills singing at the top of my lungs was appealing, I was in this corner of Austria during my

Three Terrific Christmas Markets
Blog: Sophie's World - 20 November 2011
A highlight in Europe this time of year is the cheerful (sometimes even magical) Christmas markets. I adore browsing through the arts and crafts for sale, and trying some of the hearty seasonal street food. And then there’s mulled wine. Here are three of my favourite Christmas markets: Elegant and child-friendly Vienna I’m very fond [...]Three Terrific Christmas Markets is a post from Sophie's World

The Covered Bridge of Soelden
Blog: Sophie's World - 15 November 2011
Alpine skiing is one of very few sports I enjoy watching. If you do too, you will have noticed this season’s Ski World Cup has begun. As usual, the opening races take place in Soelden in Austria’s Oetztal Valley. Looking at the world’s fastest skiers tear down the slopes, I was reminded of how attractive [...]The Covered Bridge of Soelden is a post from Sophie's World

May Day at The White Horse Inn on Lake Wolfgang, Austria – video
Blog: Heather on her travels - 14 November 2011
“You know the water in the lake is drinking quality?” I was told by my new friend Wolfgang, as he pressed me to drink another glass of sparkling Sekt, the Austrian version of Champagne. By this time I was starting to feel a bit tiddly, but it certainly tasted better than a glass of lake [...]

Life on the High Wire – Via Ferrata & Klettersteig
Blog: Inside the Travel Lab - 8 November 2011

The Saturday City: Vienna
Blog: Nomadic Matt's Travel Site - 5 November 2011
It took me three times to really see Vienna. When I first went in 2006, I was visiting friends and we didn’t do much of anything except lounge around in a park and go to a concert. The second time was to see a girl I was dating, and my time was spent with her [...]

Bregenzerwald: The Side of Austria They Don’t Want You To See

I arrived in Schwarzenberg just as the funeral procession entered the graveyard.

Travel Photo Thursday: Witches
Blog: A Traveler's Library - 20 October 2011
Although the Salzburg Marionette Theater is anything but scary, you’ll have to admit that the witch from Hansel and Gretel is a little scary. I recently learned, however, that the way to keep witches away is to put a pile of corn near you doorway. When a witch flies over corn, she is obliged to [...]This content is a post from: A Traveler's Library To comment on this post or search for related information, click on the link to A Traveler's Library.

Alpine indulgence at the Bergland
Blog: Sophie's World - 3 October 2011
Ever wanted to take your nanny along on a luxury spa holiday in the Alps? A sheikh who frequently visits Sölden with his family does. And he likes for his nanny to be comfortable as well. So the newly refurbished Hotel Bergland custom designed a 212m² suite, comprising three bedrooms – one for mum and [...]Alpine indulgence at the Bergland is a post from Sophie's World

Plane views: Innsbruck
Blog: velvet escape's blog - 29 September 2011
Innsbruck is the largest town and capital of the state of Tyrol in eastern Austria. Located in the heart of the Tyrolean Alps, the town sits serenely in the Inn Valley and is surrounded by dramatic peaks. I knew that a flight to Innsbruck would be spectacular if the weather was good and I hit [...]Plane views: Innsbruck is a post from: Velvet Escape's blog

Budapest, Vienna and Bratislava: cruising along the Danube
Blog: The Art of Slow Travel - 15 September 2011
I find it more than a little funny that now that I’m leaving Europe I should be filled with an almost uncontrollable desire to explore it further, a feeling which verges on regretting not having seen (though admittedly I couldn’t help it) more of this rich and diverse continent. There are some places I didn’t [...]
