austria tailored by you

Enjoy a tailor made holiday to Austria with our range of Optional Experiences. Choose from adventures like enjoying a concert of Viennese classical music and exploring the beautiful Schönbrunn Palace.

The ultimate cake experience

Cafe Sacher offers the true Viennese experience, and an opportunity to savour the real, one and only original Sacher Torte in the most beautiful setting. Little tip from me - go early as the queue grows quickly, and the waiting time can go up to 1 hour in the day.

Visit a 360 rooftop bar in Innsbruck

I always try to find a rooftop bar when I visit a new city. Here in Innsbruck's Old Town you can sit outside and watch the floating clouds hugging the mountains as the sun sets. The view over Innsbruck's rooftops is mesmerising and the Alps in the background make the view unforgettable. Best experienced with an Aperol in your hand!

what to eat & drink in austria

 Austria’s cuisine of juicy meat dishes and divine desserts is not for the faint hearted! We’ll show you the best places to munch on golden schnitzel and sweet sachertorte.

Wiener Schnitzel

You haven’t had schnitzel until you’ve tried the Austrian wiener schnitzel. Tender veal coated in crunchy breadcrumbs… and they dish them up in sizes so big, they spill off your plate! Remember to loosen your belt before you tuck into this iconic dish, complete with a side of creamy potato salad.

Käsespätzle

Love a bowl of mac and cheese? Then you’ll fall head over heels for käsespätzle, Austria’s delicious answer to this family favourite. A creamy cheese sauce with spätzle, a noodle-shaped pasta made from egg, flour and salt topped with sautéed onions, käsespätzle combines to create the ultimate winter warmer.

Sachertorte

Created in 1832 by a brilliant baker’s apprentice, sachertorte is still one of Austria’s favourite desserts. The legendary layered cake is filled with lashings of apricot jam, while the sides are coated in chocolate ganache. We like ours served with a freshly made coffee.
