Austria

Avalon Waterways river cruise review

Confessions of a river cruise virgin

I had always thought river cruises were not for people like me. Turns out there’s at least one type that is!

Bregenzerwald Cheese Road, Vorarlberg, Austria

Blessed are the cheese makers

This Austrian region is famous for its local food – so what better way to explore it than on the Bregenzerwald Cheese Road (which has more than just cheese!)

Wachau Valley, Austria

The World Heritage Wachau

The Wachau Valley is about more than just the castles and medieval towns. The natural landscapes and wine terraces make this a magical region.

St Florian Monastery, Austria

Could this be Austria’s best monastery?

There are two things St Florian Monastery is known for – the St Florian Monastery Library and the Bruckner organ. But visit yourself and you’ll find much more!

Things to do in Tiroler Zugspitz Arena in summer, Austria

The Zugspitze, from top to bottom

In the shadow of the enormous Zugspitze mountain, you’ll find lots to do in this Austrian region in summer – including a unique gondola breakfast.

The best things to do in St Johann, Tirol, Austria

Amongst the nature in St Johann

St Johann in summer is a beautiful time to explore this part of Tirol. From hiking up the Kitzbuhel Horn, to mountain carting back down, there’s lots to do!

Things to do in St Anton in summer, Tirol, Austria

The summer slopes of St Anton am Arlberg

This Austrian town is known as ‘the birthplace of alpine skiing’ but it’s just as charming in summer – without the crowds and the expense!

Vienna on the World Heritage in Danger List

Is Vienna’s World Heritage really in danger?

UNESCO has placed the historic centre of Vienna on its ‘In Danger’ list, along with World Heritage Sites in Syria and Iraq. How has it come to this?

Love Graz

Love local in Graz

These are some of the reasons why I think Graz is such a special place.
