Trip Report: Austria - salt mine, ice cave, Habsburgs' Summer Palace
I went on a month-long backpacking trip with friends and I finally got around to writing about it. I wanted to share with you my trip report to Salzburg and Vienna.
I share my itinerary, photos, and recommendations for Austria:

You're welcome, delabeb! I think I preferred Salzburg because it was more charming. I like walkable, cozy cities that are rich in history. Vienna is great for art and the palaces are grand but there's something about those charming winding streets.
Enjoy Austria!

Serica & PegS - you're welcome! Thanks for posting comments!
I remember there being at least 2 different salt mine tours and of course I picked the one with slides. I was looking forward to that the most.

Hi deladeb, what a great question! There are so many different places... I easily have favorite memories of pretty much everyone I've traveled. I think I like certain ones for the memories and some for the actual sights or culture. In no particular order, some favorites:
- Krakow, Poland: the magic of Free Hug Day, rich history
- Sabi Sands, South Africa: honeymoon and seeing animals up close
- Rome, Italy: Borghese Gallery, amazing sites, got goosebumps standing in the Colosseum just thinking of the horrors that took place there
- Thailand (Bangkok and Phuket): the food, markets, navigating the city, dining on the beaches on Phuket
- Granada, Spain: the Alhambra, met an awesome fellow traveler there
- Barcelona, Spain: the Gaudi sites, easily walkable. My first solo international trip makes it memorable in itself.
- Tokyo, Japan: old and modern neighborhoods, never seen anything like it
- Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: the food, crossing the street, Cu Chi Tunnels
Wow, now I really want to travel again! Do you have any?
