2D1N Trip to Hallstatt from Vienna

Embarked on a winter holiday to Austria! Started off with a 2D1N trip to the beautiful lake town of Hallstatt, driving from Vienna Airport after touch down. Arrived at Hallstatt just in time for the last tour of the day for the salt mine. Do check out the website to look at the tour schedules while planning your trip. Took the funicular up and started the salt mine tour. I highly recommend the salt mine tour which is definitely value for money. The guide was great in explaining the history and process behind it. The highlights of the tour are the slides, the tram ride, the lights shows and the uniforms they provided us to give us an experience of being a salt miner. The viewing platform on top also provides great view of the Hallstatt town below which you get to see the serenity of the lake. Stayed at a town nearby Hallstatt as it is much cheaper, about 15mins drive. Explored the town of Hallstatt the next morning, tip is to go early so there's less crowd for you to take photos. You can shop on your way back. Winter is a good time to visit Hallstatt as it is less crowded and Hallstatt does look nicer and exudes more charm during winter. A must to visit when you are in Austria! #austria #vienna #hallstatt #salzwelten #wecreate
