Hallstatt - Austria
It is an area of over-tourism. To understand the actual impact, just image the majority of Austrian's have not visited due to day trippers.
- Jun 30, 2020
Restaurant Stefan - Telfs
This Italian restaurant is just perfect for an afternoon lunch overlooking the Austrian Alps. This restaurant has been in the same family.

- Jun 22, 2020
Lagana Restaurant Bar - Villach
One of the few locations that give you a view of the Austrian Alps and river. You could easily sit here enjoying the views with a nice wine.
- Jun 22, 2020
Airbnb - Laas
So many Airbnb places look great in the listing and in reality, they are let's just say a bit disappointing. This Airbnb is perfect

Full of locals (ok, the town only has under 250 people) with a great owner family, serving good home-style food.

- Mar 12, 2020
Kleinod - Vienna
A cosy cocktail bar that opens at 3 pm, yes, please. This cocktail bar serves a wide selection of high-quality cocktails.

Restaurant Konstantin Filippou - Vienna
We decided later to come back and have a lazy lunch, not realising we managed to get into a two-star Michelin restaurant.
- Mar 11, 2020
Art Corner Restaurant - Vienna
No family or support group in a country that is in full quarantine. So why did we decide to stay in Vienna, Austria instead of flying back?
