I love to visit the small palace of Artstetten, located in the picturesque Mostviertel and offering some very interesting exhibitions about former imperial life, but for me, a highlight is its huge park grounds, including its beautiful rose gardens.

A trip to the picturesque Wachau, a glass of chilly white wine at a small picturesque wine tavern and a marvellous view above the Danube river – this is my Austrian variation of la dolce vita. There is nothing better than that.

The Austrian Salzkammergut (Lake District) is a resort area, stretching from the provinces Salzburg to Upper Austria and Styria. Mountains, lakes, beautiful landscape, each part is so beautiful, no matter where you go. Furthermore, this area offers various leisure activities.

The so-called „Justizcafé“ is located within the roots of the Viennese Palace of Justice, enabling a marvellous view above the historic centre. Actually, it is “just” a cafeteria, but in the evening it’s being transformed into an extraordinary unique event venue.

My recommendation for a very special Viennese Experience: a guided cycling tour by electric mountain bikes within Vienna surroundings. You cycle out of the city, less strenuous than usually, passing by idyllic wineyards, and finally arriving at breathtaking lookouts.
Insider tipp:
The Donauinsel (Danube Island) has become one of the most popular leisure hotspots of Vienna. Swimming, strolling around, cycling, or having a BBQ...everything is possible. The Donauinselfest, taking place every year, is the largest open-air music festival in Europe.

If you are looking for an unique but also exclusive venue for your gala dinner or event, I would recommend the Natural History Museum in Vienna. The dome hall as well as the grand architecture and design of all rooms are simply impressive.

Nearly every year again, I try to enjoy my skiing holidays in Kleinarl in the skiing area Amadé in Salzburg; and in summer, I prefer to go to Styria (Austrian province south of Vienna) and spend some relaxing time at the beautiful south Styrian wine road.

The small Styrian City of Admont, located at the edge of the National Park „Gesäuse“, impressed me a lot. I also visited the Benedictine Abbey Admont, with its impressive church and the largest monastic library in the world, a very fascinating spot indeed.

The Danube river branch „Alte Donau“ is one of the most popularViennese recreation areas, offering various nature bathing groundsand therefore also called Vienna’s “beach”. An alternative tobathing might be renting a boat to spend some nice hours on thewater.

The Ferstel Passage is a wonderful timeout-location. Here, you find small and cosy coffee houses next to exquisite or luxurious shops – all of this embedded in an elegant shopping arcade built in the 19th century. A unique spot to stay and relax.

The Schweizer Haus – one of the most traditional Viennese restaurants, is located in the middle of the Wiener Prater (Amusement Park). During hot summer days, I get there with my family to enjoy a cool drink underneath the shady chestnut trees of the beer garden. Usually we also have the traditional crispy Knuckles, that the Schweizer Haus is so famous for – a must-try for every visitor.
Insider tipp:
Hallstatt, a small picturesque village located in the middle of the Salzkammergut (Lake District), surrounded by snow-covered mountain peaks and marvellous landscapes. Due to its uniqueness it was designated UNESCO “World Heritage Site” in 1997. And yes, this place is indeed as magical and unique.

The design market WAMP is taking place in Vienna five times a year. 150 local and international artists and designers have the possibility to present and sell their clothes, pieces of jewellery, decoration and art – and much more the heart desires.
Insider tipp:
The Schafberg mountain is located in the Austrian Salzkammergut at the border between the provinces Salzburg and Upper Austria. A steam driven rack railway easily takes you up to the mountain top, rewarding you with the most marvellous view above the Lake District.
To me, the "Small Historic Towns", like Baden, Bad Ischl, Steyr and many more, are the hidden treasures of Austria. The small villages are scattered all over Austria and have their very unique charm. The picturesque historic towns are ideal for exploring Austria's history and for me are the best places to relax and recover from the big city life.

The Townhall Square in front of Vienna’s City Hall is busy the whole year through: outdoor festivals or culinary events in summer, or in the Christmas Season a visit of the world famous Christmas Market are some highlights to do.
Insider tipp:
The Riegersburg, a castle in Styria, can be seen from afar already, located on top of a high rock. You can climb this rock via a historic footpath, and once you arrive on the top, you can enjoy a breathtaking view above the south Styrian volcano land.

In Vienna downtown, there is a very special secret saloon, called “Club X”, definitely kind of crazy thing. Only members-and lucky owners of the limited entrance keys-have access to this spot; therefore guests can definitely keep to themselves.

I try to regenerate in the mountains as often as possible, more precisely at the Raxalpe, an Alpine area south of Vienna: the clear and fresh air and the breath taking landscape are really enchanting and revitalizing. A pleasure for body and soul.
Insider tipp:
Rust is a small village at the Lake Neusiedl and also called the city of storks and wines. The whole setting of this village is simply fascinating: its architecture, its history, the landscape, the people – topped by a really nice glass of wine, wonderful.
Insider tipp:
Bad Aussee, the so called Austrian Capital of Traditional Costumes, is located within the Salzkammergut. In summer, there are various possibilities for water sports, and of course - a visit of Festival of Daffodils is an absolute highlight every year again.
Insider tipp:
The region "Marchfeld" in Lower Austria offers a wide range of activities, especially for nature-lovers. For me, the ideal place to recharge my batteries and enjoy the landscape and tranquility is the National Park "Danube Auen" - balm for the mind and spirit.

Steyr, a city in Upper Austria, is located amidst a nature reserve, offering lots of things to do: culture, wonderful outdoor facilities, or simply a comfortable walk within the impressive historic city centre, there is something for everyone.
To me, the Innsbruck Nordkette is the quintessence when it comes to recreation. In summer, I love chilling out there and enjoying the breath-taking views. In winter, I get up to the Nordkette to have one or the other drink at Cloud 9 – an Igloo Bar on 1905meters – a unique experience. Whether in summer or winter, the Nordkette offers cool events and sports activities for everyone all year round.
