If you happen to be looking for someplace a little special and out of the ordinary to stay at when traveling to Salzburg, look no further than the Gmachl Hotel & Spa. My husband and I stayed here last weekend for our first wedding anniversary, and while it’s certainly not a budget hotel, I believe it was worth every penny.
I have traveled to Vienna quite a few times now, and while it still holds as one of my very favorite cities, Graz certainly impressed me. I was only in Graz for 1 1/2 days but I would love to go back and see this city again. The brightly colored, intricately designed architecture is beautiful and the city itself is very inviting. I wasn’t bothered at all to wander the streets by myself after meeting a friend for coffee.
I’ve recently spent some time in the small Austrian ski village of Saalbach-Hinterglemm, and dispite (hold on to you seats) I am not a skier or snowboarder, I really enjoyed my time there. I say this because obviously most people who go here go for one reason, and that is to ski or snowboard. I do have to say though, the town itself was adorable, the people are extremely friendly, and even though I’m not a winter sport kinda gal, I really had fun.
Ok, so they are not exactly hidden, but no one here seems to have heard of this natural wonder just 2 hours from Munich or 1 1/2 hours from Salzburg. Krimml Waterfalls are located in Austria in between Innsbruck and Salzburg. The 1,200 foot (380 meter) high set of waterfalls are made up of three stages, and are quite a beautiful site. It really makes a great day trip from Munich, Innsbruck, or Salzburg.
