Top Attractions in Salzburg Austria
Austria is perhaps most famously known for being the birthplace of Mozart who was born in the city of Salzburg.

If you had to name a few things that characterize Austria, it would be great beer, alpine scenery, many museums, beautiful architecture and picturesque towns.

It doesn’t come as a surprise that Austria is one of the top ten vacation spots in Europe all year around.

Austria offers anything from hiking and skiing on the mountain slopes, water activities by Lake Constance to walking tours of medieval towns.


No matter the weather, you’ll fall in love with Austria, its friendly people, its attractions and its delicious cuisine.

Here it is a list of top attractions, things to do and interesting places to visit in Austria:

Bregenz

Home to the Bregenz summer festival in July, Bregenz is also one of the most popular destinations in Austria for an outdoors vacation.

Bregenz is probably most renowned for the Floating Stage where the Bregenz Festival is held every year.

The Floating Stage in Bregenz is definitely one of the interesting places to visit in Austria, mainly because of its resemblance to an ocean oil refinery.

Having said this, the Floating Stage is also a cool attraction to visit as it’s open to the public for tours.

The Floating Stage also serves as an outdoor opera stage so, you may be able to catch a night of opera.

If you’re visiting Bregenz during the warm months, you can enjoy water activities like swimming, boating, cruises by Lake Constance, as well as hiking up or taking the cable car to the summit of Pfander Mountain where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the town, Lake Constance and Liechtenstein.

Bregenz's Old Town also boasts impressive medieval city walls and stunning architecture such as the old town hall and St Martin’s Church (Martinsturm).

If you’re pushed for time, St Martin’s Church is one place you don’t want to miss visiting, as it houses many medieval frescos and an interesting military museum.

Innsbruck

Innsbruck is located at the half way point between Salzburg in the east and Dombirn in the west.

Innsbruck is one of the most stunning cities in Austria to visit and a great place to base your vacation, besides Vienna, to enjoy a tons of things to do and plenty of sightseeing opportunities.

Innsbruck is filled with beautiful buildings, though the Golden Roof (Goldenes Dachl) and the Court church (Hofkirche) are, without a doubt, two of the most interesting places to visit in Austria.

In particular, the Court Church boasts houses hundreds of bronze statues, Emperor Maximilian's ornate black marble cenotaph and Andrea’s Hofer tomb.

The Golden Roof  is another landmark hard to miss in the old town because of its beautiful ornaments. The Golden Roof is a great picture-taking opportunity, and inside you can visit an interesting museum with exhibits depicting the life of Emperor Maximilian.

Another interesting place worth checking out in Innsbruck, it’s Ambras Castle (Schloss Ambras), which is also a museum with cool coin collections, armories, portraits and other precious objects that you can look at.

Melk

If you’re looking for day trips opportunities near Vienna, they don’t come nicer than Melk.

Melk is located around 60 minutes drive west of Vienna, and it’s a stunning city to visit anytime, especially during the warm months to explore the nearby Nature Park Jauerling-Wachau and enjoy winery tours at the local vineyards.

Melk is home to one of the top attractions and most interesting places to visit in Austria – Melk Abbey (pictured) - or Stift Melk, which is perched atop a hill, offering breathtaking views of Melk.

You can tour the interior of Melk Abbey which boasts beautiful ornaments, rare books and old paintings, as well as tour the park and garden pavilion.

Melk’s Old Town is also a joy to stroll to check out the beautiful architecture and many statues. If you’re traveling to Melk during the summer months, you'll enjoy it here best as the town hosts many festivals and fun events.

Zell am See

Zell am See is located around an hour’s drive south of Salzburg and it’s a beautiful town surrounded by beautiful mountains and Zeller Lake.

If you’re looking for a pleasant day trip from Salzburg to escape the crowds, or a romantic weekend break abroad enjoying outdoor activities, Zell am See is a great place to visit all year around.

During the winter months and summer months, you can enjoy skiing and hiking at one of the nearby mountains, as well as boating and swimming at the lake.

Apart from outdoor pursuits, you can enjoy walking tours of Zell am See town, explore the lovely architecture, enjoy boutique shopping and catch a live music event.

Graz

Graz is the cultural heart of Austria, and it's only located a couple of hours drive south of Vienna so, it's another place you can visit on a day trip from Vienna.

Graz is also a popular place to base in Austria if you intend on exploring nearby Slovenia and Hungary.

Graz is UNESCO Cultural Site, which isn’t surprising, as many of the interesting places to visit in Austria are located in Graz, including Eggenberg Palace, which is a stunning place home to a medieval and archaeological museum, as well as beautiful gardens.

Graz is a great place to visit on a day trip, though basing a vacation here is ideal as the city boasts many attractions and things to do to keep you occupied.

If you’re visiting Graz on a short day trip, the main tourist draw in the city is Graz's Old Town, which boasts many museums and other attractions such as:

Looking for places to visit in Andorra and things to do?


The Principality of Andorra is a great little country located in the heart of the Pyrenees and it’s most famously known for its outdoor opportunities and tax-free shops.

Andorra is the smallest nation in Europe and also one of my top ten vacation spots in Europe this year.

Andorra is certainly a popular destination for a skiing vacation in winter but skiing isn’t the only thing to do in Andorra.

For instance, in the autumn you can visit museums and art galleries, while in summer and spring you can enjoy Andorra’s beautiful outdoors hiking the slopes and getting close to nature.

Andorra is a gem of a country and it’s truly a place to come to any time. To give you an idea, I’ve included below some of my favorite places to visit, popular skiing spots and things to do in Andorra in summer:

Andorra la Vella

Andorra la Vella is the capital city of Andorra and a popular place to visit in Andorra because of the cultural attractions.

Andorra la Vella is roughly the halfway point between the major cities of Toulouse France and Barcelona Spain.

Andorra la Vella is the highest capital city in Europe and also one of the oldest cities. One of the popular things to do in Andorra la Vella is enjoying a sightseeing tour of the city's quarters such as Andorra la Vella’s old town which boasts beautiful old cobblestone streets, old churches and old stone houses.

The Andorra la Vella’s main square is also a popular place to enjoy some sighseeing because of the beautifully decorated building facades.

Cool Attractions that you can visit in the city include: Casa de la Vall (pictured), which is the only courtroom in Andorra and it’s a popular thing to do in Andorra la Vella, as it’s open for free to everyone.

If you’re into art, the Government Exhibition Hall has interesting and changing art exhibitions showcasing local artists.

Another sightseeing opportunity it’s Caldea health spa which is a complex made out of glass and it’s visually a stunning building to look at.

Sordeny Nature Park

If you’re visiting Andorra during the summer or spring months, Sordeny Nature Park is one of the most popular places to visit in Andorra during the warm months because of its excellent hiking opportunities.

Sordeny Nature Park is also a nature preserve so if you enjoy wildlife spotting, you’ll enjoy scanning the area for the famed chamois, which is a goat-antelope species.

Sordeny Nature Park is located near the town of Ordino and it is an excellent day trip opportunity from the capital as it is only 15 minutes drive north of Andorra la Vella.

La Cortinada

La Cortinada village is another of my favorite places to visit in Andorra for a quiet and rustic vacation and enjoying the true Andorran way of life.

La Cortinada is another great day trip opportunity from Andorra la Vella, being just 20 minutes drive from the capital.

If you’re spending a few nights at La Cortinada village, you definitely want to check out the main attraction at the village – San Marti Church – which boasts beautiful frescoes.

Soldeu

Soldeu is a busy and family-oriented skiing town during the winter months (Dec-April) and one of the most popular places to visit in Andorra for a cheap skiing vacation.

During the warm months, the steep hills surrounding Soldeu make it an ideal place to enjoy some serious hiking and biking up and down the slopes.

Encamp and Pas de la Casa

Encamp and Pas de la Casa is one of the most popular destinations for winter sports in Andorra and the Pyrenees, hands down!

Pas de la Casa is part of Encamp, though it’s actually located 40 minutes drive east of Encamp’s town center.

Pas de la Casa ski resort is one of the most popular ski areas in Andorra, mainly because of its easy accessibility, but also because of the vibrant and lively nightlife that draws many young snowboarders and skiers alike.

Encamp is also popular because of its duty free shops so it’s one of the most popular places to visit in Andorra to enjoy a bit of tax-free shopping.

If you’re a car enthusiast or interested in vintage cars, don’t miss visiting the National Automobile Museum in Encamp.

Top Eastern European Cities to Visit

Top Eastern European Cities to Visit
Must see places in Eastern Europe
Seeing so many good articles on top destinations in Western Europe, I thought to create a list of some of the top Eastern European cities to visit, and tell you why I think they’re great destinations. In no particular order, five of the top Eastern European cities to visit on your next vacation include:

Constanta, Romania

If you’re planning a cheap beach vacation like no other, look no further than Constanta Romania.

Located along the western coast of the Black Sea, Constanta Romania offers lively resorts, beautiful sandy beaches and centuries old remains and ruins from past cultures. Another reason why Constanta Romania is one of the top Eastern European cities to visit, it’s because of its affordability and accessibility. The airport is just minutes from the heart of the city center, and with hundreds of charter flights available, airfare bargains are easy to come by.


Budapest, Hungary

Most people that travel to Budapest Hungary for the first time don’t know what to expect of the city. Perhaps, one of the most striking things about the capital city of Budapest Hungary it’s the city’s architecture, with its many bridges and statutes, as well as amazing cultural scene. The music scene is diverse and they’re plenty of music events happening all year-round to keep you busy. Budapest Hungary is also one of the most popular cheap summer destinations in Europe, when you consider the small price you’ll pay for foods, eating out and entertainment.

Varna, Bulgaria

Varna Bulgaria is another popular summer destination in the Black Sea, located on the same stretch of coast as Constanta Romania. If you’re looking to do day trips, the city of Varna offers daily ferry connections to cities along the Black Sea coast, including Istanbul Turkey. The thing that makes Varna Bulgaria one of the top Eastern European cities to visit it’s its lovely attractions and the many things to do that can be enjoyed by all. For instance, you’d love a visit to the popular Sea Garden Park which boasts a dolphin theater, planetarium and more.

Kusadasi, Turkey

Kusadasi Turkey is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Turkey, in par, with places such as Ibiza in Spain and Ayia Napa in Cyprus, but with its distinctive Turkish vibe. If you’re looking for a lively beach vacation and vibrant nightlife, without breaking the bank, Kusadasi Turkey has some of the best beaches in the Mediterranean to head. Apart from exciting beach and nightlife, Kusadasi Turkey is one of the top Eastern European cities to visit because of the famed Ephesus ruins.


Brno, Czech Republic

Located southeast of Prague, Brno Czech Republic is one of the few places in the country where you can still get a taste of the real Czech Republic. If you’ve always wanted to visit a medieval city, the city of Brno Czech Republic is one of the best places to visit Europe where you can do this. From beautiful architecture like churches, castles, medieval streets and UNESCO sites, there is really a lot to do in the city. Another plus about traveling to Brno Czech Republic, it’s that the city is just 70 miles north of Vienna Austria.

Top Ten Vacation Spots in Europe

Looking to getaway to Europe this winter/summer?

Top Ten Vacation Spots in Europe
Top 10 Tourist Attractions in Europe
Whether you're planning a short or week-long vacation in Europe, if you're looking for suggestions on where to enjoy your next European vacation adventure, I've got just that!

I have compiled a list of some of the best vacation spots in Europe, including top eastern European destinations. The list of top ten vacation spots in Europe is arranged in no particular order. Enjoy!

Top Ten Vacation Spots in Europe

Great Yarmouth, England

Great Yarmouth UK is one of favorite holiday destinations in England for spending the summer and, in my opinion, Great Yarmouth UK is one of the best summer retreats for both families and solo travelers.
Best Beach Bars in Europe
If you've never been to a sea-side resort in England, you’d love the amount of attractions and activities this charming town has to offer.


Apart from the beach, one of the most pleasant things to do here it’s taking a boat tour along the waterways of Norfolk Broads.

Island of Cyprus

The island of Cyprus is in, my opinion, one of the most charming destinations in the Mediterranean basin but somewhat overlooked by many travelers.

Top 5 European Beaches
The festivals in Cyprus are a joy to enjoy and shopping for traditional hand-made Cypriot goods is one of the most fun things to do in Cyprus.

Another thing that appeals to me about the island is its geographical location. It is located south of Turkey, north of Egypt and east of Syria, which makes Cyprus a great place to base yourself if you intend to also explore places such as Cairo Egypt.

Kusadasi, Turkey

Turkey is certainly not ‘under the radar’ of most travelers anymore as it is fast becoming one of the most popular summer destinations in Europe because of its affordability.
Top Places to See on a Mediterranean Cruise
The town of Kusadasi Turkey deserves to be on the list of top ten vacation spots in Europe because of its Roman ancient ruins such as the Temple of Apollo and Ephesus (see. things to do on the Aegean coast of Turkey).

Dumfries, Scotland

The county of Scotland is another destination widely overlooked by most travelers, which is a pity as the county has a wealth of historical landmarks and educational attractions.

cheap summer destinations in Europe
The appeal of Dumfries Scotland has to be the old ancient landmarks, some of them, dating back to the 13th century.

My two favorite landmarks include Sweetheart Abbey ruins and Kagyu Samyé Ling Monastery. The latter is a Buddhist monastery temple which I think gives so much character to the area.

Uppsala, Sweden

Uppsala Sweden is one of the most beautiful cities in Northern Europe and also one of the trendiest town with its charming student feel.
Tourist Attractions in Scandinavia
Summers are one of the best times to visit the town because of the many summer festivals such as the Uppsala Reggae Festival in August.


The town of Uppsala also has a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to a vacation in Stockholm Sweden, so if you're looking to get away from large crowds and you’ll enjoy a trip here.

Lagos, Portugal

If you are planning a trip to Portugal, Lagos is one of the best places in the Algarve to enjoy a beach vacation. Lagos Portugal is a pleasant destination, and not as crowded in the summers as other major tourist hubs in Portugal such as Albufeira, Lisbon and Porto.


Lagos Portugal is definitely on my top ten of vacation spots in Europe, and it is one of my favorite beach vacations in Europe due to its lovely beach with stunning rock outcroppings .

Antwerp, Belgium

If you are a romantic-type traveler, you’ll enjoy a trip to Antwerp Belgium without a doubt. This charming Belgium city is home to the famous Het Steen Fortress and the beautiful River Scheldt where you can enjoy a romantic dinner cruise.

The nightlife is especially lively, and during the summer months, restaurants and bars play live music outdoors.

There is also plenty of shopping opportunities and many bargains to be had at the weekend's flea-markets.

Amalfi Coast, Italy

The Amalfi Coast is one of the most picturesque stretches on the eastern side of the Italian coast.

Amalfi Coast actually stretches all the way from Positano to Vietri sul Mare. The latter is just miles from the city of Salerno.

Whether you base yourself in the city of Salerno or at one of the villages along the coast, one of the most enjoyable things to do here it’s to rent a car and take a scenic drive along Amalfi Coast to check out the Cathedral of Amalfi, the Old Arsenal, and Santa Maria Olearia Monastery.

Another great thing about a vacation in the Amalfi Coast is the many ferry connections to other wonderful spots in Southern Italy such as Rome, Sassari Sardinia and Palermo Sicily.

French Riviera

The French Rivera is no doubt, one of the most popular vacation spots in Europe, and it's easily to see why the French Rivera draws so many people here every year. (see places to visit in the French Rivera).
Best Party Beaches in Europe
The French Rivera or Côte d'Azur in French, is one stunning stretch of coast with some of the most gorgeous sandy beaches and crystal clear blue waters anywhere in the world!

Odense, Denmark

If you are looking for a nice vacation spot where your family and yourself can enjoy fun recreational activities and attractions, you won’t find a more ‘spot-on’ destination than Odense Denmark.

The city has a great bicycle system with paved cycling trails that makes cycling tours such a wonderful experience. There are also many green spaces where you can all enjoy a lovely picnic along the way.

The city also boasts many museums and many fun things to do such as visiting the Odense Zoo and taking a scenic trip on the train.
