Magical Mystery Austrian Tour
When travel opens up more, I hope to visit Central Europe, with Austria being one of the stops. What would you recommend I see there? We like small shops with locally produced goods, quaint towns and villages, beautiful churches and scenery, especially of nature. It is getting harder for us to conquer elevation by foot but we can walk reasonably far. And what would you suggest for local cuisine?
If you want to serve as personal tour guides????, I am sure we could work things out. It wouldn’t cost you a cent. My opening offer would include free reign of my vinyl collection.

Hi Tim!
That’s great that you are going to visit Austria, we hope you’ll enjoy your time there! At this point it has been several years since we have been back so please tell everyone we said “hi”! 😉
We grew up in a town to the east of Vienna and went to school in the capital, so that’s the part of Austria we know really well. It’s beautiful there, however, the western parts of the country are definitely a lot more scenic. That’s where you have the alps with all its wonderfully majestic mountains, quaint valleys and quirky villages.
Amongst other regions, we once spent a summer with our grandparents in East Tyrol which is saturated with picturesque views! If you like you can watch our photo post here. If you don’t want to walk much you can always take one of the many chair lifts or cable cars up a mountain to enjoy the views. If you’re more into cities, then Graz, Salzburg, Innsbruck and of course Vienna are all worth a visit. There is so much more we would love to explore ourselves one day!
As for local cuisine: Definitely try “Germknödel” if you get a chance 🙂 Everyone always raves about the Viennese Sachertorte (a special kind of chocolate cake that Austria is famous for) but to be honest, there are so many good desserts that we think are much better like eg. Linzer Torte, Cremeschnitte (cream slices) or any kind of Strudel.
You’ll have to let us know what you thought!
Baba, (Austrian for Bye-bye)

I don’t know if we will get there this year but it is definitely something we are going to do within the next 3-5 years or sooner.
