The 2022 review

Somehow December has gone by faster than expected. The last month of the year had barely begun when Christmas arrived and now the New Year is fast approaching. So it’s time to look back at what has happened in the apartments this year and time to look ahead to next year, because there are […]

Grocery shopping – sustainable & regional in the area

A long conversation with Michael Bauer-Leeb from Weitsicht – Büro für zukunftsfähige Wirtschaft about sustainability inspired me to put together a nice overview of where you can buy regional, organic and sustainable food in your area. Because there are several possibilities where you will find what you are looking for.

Two smaller stores are well spread out across Hernals, so […]

Looshaus Wien (c) Andreas Praefcke

Vienna is known worldwide for its unique architecture. From imperial buildings such as Schönbrunn Palace to modern architecture by contemporary visionaries. Many of these buildings tell their own very special story. Which can sometimes be very moving and emotional.

Day trip Vienna to… Budapest

Austria and Hungary – these two countries share a long history and the two capitals, Vienna and Budapest, also have a few things in common. And yet they couldn’t be more different.

But this area has charm and many advantages, as it perfectly combines living in the countryside and yet close to the center. Whereby, the center of Vienna is relative anyway, because in Vienna you can find exciting, impressive, historical, cultural, … places […]

Austria Guides for Future – experience the future of the city

Vienna is a versatile, multi-faceted city. From the imperial heritage to exciting new projects that point the way to the future. But much of it is still little known, sometimes even undiscovered. The Austria Guides for Future are now making part of this visible.

I recently met Cristina-Estera Klein. She and a few other Austria Guides came together in the middle of […]
