Vienna Austria Mozart JESS@FriendsTravel.com

#ClassicalMusic in #Vienna is a pervading presence that manifests itself in many ways. It flows together to express creativity and a joyful and thoughtful approach to life, and above all, it communicates emotion beyond words.

Much of 18th-century classical music happened in Vienna, with #Mozart, #Haydn, and #Beethoven being its leading proponents. Today, their music still vibrates in the local opera houses and concert halls, but it is in the museums where we can immerse ourselves in their world and get a glimpse of their lives.

Two museums are on top of our lists and are a must-see for Viennese classical music. One is the #Mozarthaus Vienna, and the other is the House of Music. Both are in the first district, meaning right in the center of town.

The Mozart Haus Vienna at Domgasse No 5 is the home where Mozart lived with his family from 1784 to 1787 and where he composed the world-famous opera “The Marriage of Figaro.”

On the other hand, the House of Music is an entirely different museum. It opened in 2000 and is Austria’s first museum dedicated to sound. Across an exhibition space of 54,000 sq. ft., a range of hi-tech interactive and multimedia presentations introduce the world of music, from the earliest human use of instruments to the music of the present day. A whole floor is dedicated to Vienna’s school of classical music.

Aside from the permanent collection, the museum has interesting exhibitions, hosts lovely concerts, and can be rented for special events. Please get in touch with Nina at the Mozarthaus if you have any special requests, or need special guided tours. Easily arranged by #FriendsTravelWestHollywoodCa90069

Enjoy!

With warmest regards,

#Salzburg #Austria JESS@FriendsTravel.com

For many, the best time to visit #Salzburg is from September to October, when summer visitors have tapered off, and you can enjoy the beautifully pruned #Mirabell gardens in comfortable temperatures. More local #folk #festivals are taking place, the beer gardens are still open, and exciting #jazz events are added to the performing arts scene.

Salzburg’s Unique Beer Tradition
For over 600 years, Beer has been brewed in Salzburg, making it Austria’s undisputed beer capital. There are ten breweries in and around the city. If you set out in search of the local beer scene, you will quickly find your way to traditional beer gardens where beautiful old chestnut trees make sure you have a shady spot to enjoy local foods with a glass of Beer. Salzburg’s restaurants all carry the local Beer. The #Stiegl Brewery is Austria’s largest privately owned brewery, and you can plan a brewery visit for your clients. The #Augustiner Bräu in Mülln, a unique beer hall dating back to the #Augustin monks, is an excellent choice if you want to add a more rustic experience to the itinerary.

And if you have clients who like to get a more in-depth look at the local beer culture, we suggest a Guided Beer Walking Tour.

#Rupertikirtag | St. Rupert’s Day Fair
September 21 to 25, 2022
is an annual street fair held on the city square next to Salzburg Cathedral in honor of Saint Rupert, patron saint of Salzburg. The five-day Rupertikirtag features vintage fairground rides, market stalls, craft demonstrations, and a large beer tent. Here are some impressions.

#Austrian folk fashion: #Dirndl & #Lederhosen reimagined

Salzburg’s centuries-old traditions are deeply rooted in its connection with the surrounding farming country, lakes, and mountains, which have inspired local fashion. The local word for it is TRACHT (think Dirndl and Lederhosen). Over 30 dressmakers have workshops and retail stores in the city, which can be added to any itinerary as an exciting shopping experience.
Here are some of the top places you can visit:
• 100 Years of Trachten Lanz, http://www.lanztrachten.at
• 75 Years of Gössl, http://www.goessl.com
• 70 Years of Hanna Tracht, http://www.hanna-trachten.at

Salzburg’s alternative music scene
The fall is a great time for visitors to experience Salzburg with all its beautiful architecture and exceptional music from around the world. Here is a short overview of some unusual events coming up:
• Take the A-Train, September 15 to 18, 2022
• 50 Years of Salzburger Cultural Days, September 28 to October 23, 2022
• Jazz & The City, October 13 to 16, 2022

Daily departures from the USA to Austria. 

The Salzburg City Mountains
The perfect combination of Nature + Culture
Mountains encircle the city of Salzburg; some are right in the city center, and others are in the outskirts. In the city, you will find the #Mönchsberg and #Kapuzinerberg mountains; it only takes a few minutes to get to the top from the city center, and an extensive trail system guides you for nice leisurely hikes with stunning city views. Outside the city limits, you can add a day hike to the #Gaisberg mountain (1287 meters, 4222 feet) or the mighty #Untersberg mountain (1852 meters, 6076 feet). Both day excursions are included in the commissionable Salzburg Card with free public transportation. City Walks: Salzburg’s City Mountains, personal tours.

Kiss winery-pre-Amerika
Austrian vineyard in the fall	“If you have never tasted Austrian wines, now’s the time to try them on this “tour of tastes”. This unique tour will give the traveler a chance to taste wines from several wine regions of Austria such as the Danube River Valley (Wachau) and the Kamp River Valley; the hills surrounding Vienna in the South; Vienna itself (the only capital in Europe that has vineyards within its city limits and wonderful wines!!) and the Burgenland (most Eastern province). You will be tasting whites and reds – Insider Tip: Grüner Veltliner, only grown in the Eastern Austrian wine regions; and Zweigelt, a unique red wine coming from the Burgenland. As true foodies we at Herzerl Tours are convinced that the regional cuisines add a lot to the taste and the “nose” of the different wines.
