 The Vorarlberger Landesmuseum by Paul2001 The Vorarlberger Landesmuseum in Bergenz was a far from memorable experience. Perhaps because my guidebook really hyped this place, I expected something remarkable. Instead I found another museum full of folk and ecclesiastical art that, to be quite honest, was beginning to look all the same to me on this holiday.
I do not mean to diss, the culture of the Voralberg but I am probably somewhat jaded, or at least I was by the time I visited this museum. If you have a deep interest in all of this, then by all means go. As for me I found the exhibits on the prehistoric past the most interesting, but again this is a subject that I find most fascinating. There is also a ghoulish display of torture equipment that might amuse the children although even with regards to this topic, I have seen better elsewhere. Leave a Comment

 Cheers Hick Hick LOL by dr.firas Hot wine at X-mas is on of the best things you could ever try in Austria, but Puncsh is indeed a strong alcholic drink, and from the first cup you'll feel your head turning, and the second is a for sure drunk status, so be careful, it is delicious so be moderate please!

Heimatmuseum Holzgau: we looked for it, we think we found it, but we didn't find the entrance door. What we saw was a kind of a barn with a chicken run and very beautiful paintings on the sidewalls.

by irinakats Salzburg 'Huh? Didn't you list this as a must-see activity??' Yeah, I did. Here's why: If you've already seen Salzkammergut, Hallstatt, Wachau, and Vienna- this place is not for you. Also, if you've only been to Vienna, but don't particularly care about the Sound of Music (This town makes a good buck on The Sound of Music), skip Salzburg. Leave a Comment

by globetrott Schlosshotel Orth is a tourist-trap of the nice kind...
It is absolutely worth to go there anyway for the great landscape and surroundings of the island - and for the fans of the TV-soap, plenty of signs are to be found all over Gmunden to easily know, where the scenes are taken for the series...
There are plenty of other hotels in town - but maybe it helps you to have a coffee in the Schloss-cafe Leave a Comment

 'I TOLD YOU SO' by TinKan OK... Let this stand as an 'I TOLD YOU SO' Do not waist your time or your money to stop at the Swarovski Museum. This is such a trap you will be looking for the exit from the first moment you step in the door... problem is that you have to walk through the whole place to find the exit.
Go to the big store in Innsbruck. See my Innsbruck page for information about the big shop there. Leave a Comment

by globetrott every year many tourists die inn the mountains, simply because their equipment is not good enough for the mountains - this pic looks like a joke, but for plenty of people this joke turns into a real big problem... some are killed and others will be rescued and might get a huge bill for expenses for helicopter-rescue or people searching for them after an accident Leave a Comment

Dorint Budget hotel beside the train station is an absolute no-no! The name is deceiving. All right, the rooms are clean and the restaurant is superb, but we could go for cheaper ones! Leave a Comment

Don't go shopping in the city center (1 district). Most things are much more expensive than in other districts (eg.:6 or 7). Leave a Comment

by Rob47 The weather can change very quickly in the mountains. One minute its sunny and the next it is pouring with rain. Leave a Comment
