Vienna Unwrapped is a destination blog about my home city Vienna. I was born in Vienna, lived in and around the ‘city with the best quality of life’ (Mercer) for 30 years and now frequently travel back to my home city. Since 2011, travelers planning a trip to Vienna and surroundings can look under the lid of Wien from my native’s perspective on vienna-unwrapped.com.
Because Vienna is a popular tourist spot, culture buffs will find out how not fall into a tourist trap when signing up for a concert or ball. Bucket list bandits can arm themselves with insider tips for magnets such as Schonbrunn Palace. And Luxury Mavens will discover Vienna’s good life between luxury temples, Michelin star eateries, exclusive viewings and fine shopping.
In 2019, I was awarded Best Independent Central European Travel Planner by Lux Life in its Global Excellence Awards.
