- Hallstatt - Hallstatt is a charming village recognized by UNESCO, located on Hallstätter See beneath the Dachstein Alps, celebrated for its salt-mining history. It is approximately a 3.5-hour drive from Vienna. The village’s compact center features narrow lanes, timber houses adorned with flower-filled balconies, and a lakeside promenade offering views of the Evangelical church spire mirrored in the water. The Market Square is adorned with painted façades and cafés, while the Mühlbach stream and waterfall flow through the village. Above the town, the Hallstatt Skywalk viewpoint provides expansive views of the lake and mountains. St. Michael’s Chapel and its historic bone house (Beinhaus) showcase a local memorial tradition. Along the shore, visitors can find boat landings and serene viewpoints; in the upper lanes, small workshops offer regional crafts and salt-themed souvenirs. Hallstatt is all about its scenery and atmosphere—lake light, steep forested slopes, and a centuries-old narrative shaped by “white gold.”
- Salzburg - Salzburg is a picturesque Baroque city situated on the Salzach River, surrounded by the hills of Mönchsberg and Kapuzinerberg, and dominated by Hohensalzburg Fortress. The UNESCO-listed old town is a maze of narrow lanes and arcaded courtyards where church towers, squares, and fountains coexist harmoniously. Mirabell Gardens on the right bank—famous for The Sound of Music “Do-Re-Mi” scenes at the Pegasus Fountain and grand staircase—provide classic skyline views toward the fortress. Across the river, Getreidegasse’s wrought-iron signs lead to Mozart’s Birthplace at No. 9; on Makartplatz, Mozart’s Residence showcases the family’s later home. The cathedral quarter and St. Peter’s Abbey reflect over a millennium of ecclesiastical history, while Kapitelplatz blends Baroque façades with contemporary art. Cafés, markets, and riverside promenades link these sights with everyday city life, making Salzburg both a vibrant neighborhood and a display of music, architecture, and its Alpine setting.
