Salzburg is a walkable, beautiful city. It has lots to see and just feels polished. Very much enjoying “The Sound of Music,” Salzburg had a certain appeal. So when the opportunity came to visit, I was excited. My husband Chris and I planned to spend the day there as part of our Austrian adventure. I…
Is the Bayern Ticket Worth It? Our Experience Traveling from Munich to Kufstein If you’re planning day trips from Munich, the Bayern Ticket can be an incredible value. It’s also a great value if you’re needing to get from Munich to parts of Austria. We used it for a trip from Munich to Kufstein, Austria,…
Pictures of Ålesund captivated me when I first saw them. Then, I did a treadmill run with Google images and was sold. The Art Noveau architecture made me really wanted to see the city, and when my husband and I were planning our Norwegian adventure, this is the city that stood out to me as…
Innsbruck is a city I’ve been to three times, and while I’ve only spent a day or a night there each time, I highly recommend it. It’s not like in Vienna in that you could spend days there entertained and not leave. Innsbruck is far different. It has the historical buildings, but it’s proximity to…

As part of a recent September European adventure, we opted to spend some time in Austria. The goal was to find a place that was scenic and near the mountains and a lake. That’s easy to do in Austria, but we also wanted a place that had things to do. While we did rent a…
On the shores of Wolfgangsee, sits a small but popular town called St. Gilgen. It has a few claims to fame, but what most people might recognize it from is The Sound of Music. The opening aerial shots show the blue lake waters of Wolfgangsee and the “Hills are Alive” panoramic scene were shot not…
The Tirol region of Austria is one of my favorites. In the summer, it’s great for hiking. In the winter, it’s known for skiing. Even if you don’t ski and still visit in winter, there are plenty of things to do. When visiting Austria in February, we based ourselves in Kufstein for a few days….
When planning a trip to the Tirol region of Austria, we were looking for a town to stay a few nights in that would serve as a good base to the area. We particularly wanted to visit St Johann in Tirol. Innsbruck, as beautiful as it is, was something we’d done before, and we wanted…
