I’ve been to Vienna a number of times, but last weekend I fell in love all over again. A good friend of mine invited us to meet her at the Museums Quarter for an evening drink and it turned out to be one of the best nights I’ve had in Vienna. As we walked around the corner from our hotel, we walked up some stairs only to find on the other side an enormous courtyard filled with plastic couches, cafes, restaurants, and people relaxing having a drink with their friends. It was perrrffect!

Ok, this may not exactly be a “hidden” travel tip, but it’s one I will mention anyways, if not for any other reason than I love this place! If you are into food and outdoor markets, you will have to check out the Naschmarkt while in Vienna, Austria. There are two rows at about 1.5 kilometers long worth of taste bud tempting treats. Seriously, bring your appetite!

I feel as though this city might get over looked sometimes by travelers coming to Europe. Rome, London, Paris, and Amsterdam seem to always be high on people’s lists of places to visit when they are trekking around this region of the world, and I felt it only fair to write a little something about my favorite bigger European city, Vienna.

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.
