We decided to test whether the car can handle long ranges by going to Austria next week. It’s a large country with numerous places, so I want to ask your help. Have you ever been to there?
EDIT: Thanks the suggestions for everyone, they were really useful!

You can’t just DRIVE to Australia! It’s a whole other continent. It’s across the ocean and stuff. …
When I was child I thought they are the same places, even though Austria is our neighbour country. 😄
Go to the opera. World class building and performances. The whole inner ring of the city has fabulous buildings and should be on anyone’s to-see list. This is in Wien
Highly recommend the ice caves at Eisriesenwelt! We visited Salzburg many years ago and made a day trip out to this cavern system and it was an awesome experience. Also highly recommended stopping and having a pint and lunch at the restaurant between the skylift and the rest of the walk up the mountain. Breathtaking view for a meal.
Innsbruck. Lived there for two years. Beautiful place.
Hallstadt is another amazing place. The “most beautiful city in the world next to a lake”. It is so popular that china created a copy of it haha.
If you travel all the way to the east, the border with Switzerland has a beautiful lake.
I spent a summer in Bregenz, basically the western tip of Austria. A beautiful little town on the Bodensee (Lake Constance), with a waterfront opera house and a park that runs along the water to just chill with a döner in hand and look out on the lake. Also, there’s a skylift to ride up one of the nearby mountains and get an even better view. Definitely not one of the most exciting places, but if you ever want a chill day, you can’t do much better.
Drink wine! unbeknownst to many, Austrian wine is quite good!
Salzburg, Mariazell (specifically hiking through Ötschergräben), and anywhere in the Austrian Alps are all excellent.
Just be aware if you visit Vienna, the Schnitzel Wirt(where even Ed Sheeran ate his Schnitzel) is closed during summer. I see so many tourists every summer confused because it’s closed.
I visited the Schnitzelwirt a few times but stopped going there since a few years. The last time I was there, two japanese tourists were at the table next to us and I overheard the owner making fun of them by insulting them and saying stupid shit to their face. They obviously didn’t speak German and were simply trying to ask for Ketchup in English.
I didn’t leave a tip and never ate there again.
Since I am vegetarian there is no insensitive for me to eat there either, but yea after I heard them say that they think all Friday for Future Protesters(on the World strike) should just go to jail, I pretty skeptical about it.
