We have drown from Czech. Hallstatt its a beautiful city to relax and spend weekend stretching bones by climbing hills. We had excelent time. Visited the Salt mines, smallest cemetery in Europe, Lutheran church. Its just so relaxing and beautiful to walk around the lake and snack Pretzels. We have recomended this beautiful city to most of our friends and everyone loved it. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

It is a really beautiful place and totally understable that this has been included in UNESCO World Heritage. Impressing with the old town in this extremely beautiful location and everything is also beautifully renovated and generally kept in really good shape. Even for Covid-19 there were still a lot of tourists in September 2020, but I still think it was a really nice place to visit. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

Hallstatt is more than just a pretty town. It’s actually considered the oldest still-inhabited village in Europe, dating back to the Iron Age. In fact, the early Iron Age culture from 800 to 400 BC is known as the Hallstatt culture, an era marked by farming and metal-working, long-range trade with Mediterranean cultures, and the rise of elite classes and social distinction. Hallstatt – which means “place of salt” – is home to the world’s first salt mine. Thanks to the salt industry, the town quickly progressed and became wealthy. Salt has always been a valuable commodity, more so in the pre-historic times when it was primarily used to preserve meat. In recent decades, though, Hallstatt’s fame derives mostly from its natural beauty. Sandwiched between a lake and mountains (you could even say that it cuddles the lake), this perfect little town easily became a favorite tourist destination as well as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Nowadays, you’ll find a lot of tour groups making a day trip to Hallstatt from Vienna, Salzburg, and even Prague and Cesky Krumlov. This influx of tourists further boosted Hallstatt’s economy, giving rise to tourist attractions and amenities. The town may be compact – you can walk from end to end in under half an hour – but there’s much to see within the town and in the surrounding area. Spend at least two days to really see all of Hallstatt’s pretty corners. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

Austria is a country with a wide variety of weather, so deciding on when to visit all depends on the activities you want to partake in. Overall, the best time to visit Austria is between April and May and September and October. During the spring, you might be met with a rain shower or two. But it’s still a great time to wander around Vienna or Hofburg since the tourist season is just beginning. Come fall, and the mountains become covered in red and golden hues as the leaves change, making it one of the best times to hike. Summer (June through August) is high season meaning both crowds and prices have doubled since spring. The heat can be felt, especially near the lakes, so it’s a wonderful time to take a dip. This is also the season of the Salzburg Festival, Vienna Festival, and the Rainbow Parade!

When most people think of Austria, they think of rolling hills, skiing, Christmas markets, and The Sound of Music. And while the country does have all of this, it also has so much more! For music lovers, it’s the home of Mozart. For foodies, it’s home to the Wienerschnitzel. For outdoor lovers, you can paraglide, raft, and hike. No matter what your love is, Austria likely has something just for you. The minute you arrive, you the country’s charming villages will take you by surprise and have you feeling like you stepped into a Disney fairytale. #mountain #ice

Steyr its was most amazing place to stay, small city historical. I'm always going in Steyr if you want enjoy and relax is the best destination #summervacation

#tripaway There's no doubt #Hallstatt is stunningly beautiful - from every angle.I'm just glad I managed to squeeze a trip in now, because I've never had the desire to go due to it being the epicentre of crowds. I'd love nothing more as a travel expert, than to re-wire the tourism of Hallstatt. While pristine and wonderful in nature, the town feels like a museum piece and caricature of Austrian culture, when Austria is so much more #tripaway

#tripaway If you are visiting the Salzkammergut you will likely pass through the spa town of Bad Ischl on the way to the lakes. Emperor Franz Joseph l spent his summers here and it's where he met Sissi, so it must be lovely! It's certainly worth the stopover. Which isn't complete until you indulge at Cafe Zauner (of which there are two - but the riverside is more romantic).didn't have the chance to visit the Kaiservilla this time, so it's an excuse to go back, as well as pick up another Zaunerstollen! #tripaway
