Vienna Celebrates Beethoven 250th Birthday

/in , /by

Vienna and Ludwig van Beethoven – a Musical city meets musical genius.

The revolutionary composer spent 35 years in Vienna and left behind many traces: a large Beethoven Museum, preserved apartments and places of his triumphs and despair, memorials and Klimt’s Beethoven Frieze – through to the Beethoven Heuriger.

As a pupil of Joseph Haydn, he created sounds that still inspire the world of music today.

A series of concerts, opera performances and exhibitions: in Beethoven Year 2020, music lovers can get very close to the composer in Vienna.

Vienna Wine Hiking Day

/in , /by

The “Wiener Weinwandertag” (Vienna Wine Hiking Day) is held every year on the last weekend of September.
One of the unique things about Vienna is that it’s the only capital city in the world with more than 700 hectares of vineyards within the city limits. During the Wiener Weinwandertag one can hike on the trails that lead through private vineyards that are normally inaccessible during the rest of the year.

The wine landscape can be hiked through on three routes with a total length of 25 kilometers. At many points along the way, Viennese vintners offer tastings from cellar and kitchen.
From every single of those Viennese house mountains you can enjoy a great view over the city whilst drinking a glass of wine. Especially during Autumn, the trees of Vienna Woods are changing its colours and are definitely worth a visit.

You just need to bring your own cup… 😉

BLAGUSS DMC TIP:
And to everyone who likes to choose the more comfortable way, we recommend „Heurigen Express“. It is a tiny train on wheels that takes passengers through picturesque wine towns, past wonderful vineyards and old vintners’ houses. Round off the journey by experiencing a real Viennese ‘heuriger’, or wine tavern.

Change your perspective: experience Carinthia

/in , /by

Sharing its borders with Italy & Slovenia, Carinthia’s special location – south of the main ridge of the Alps – is acting as a “gateway to the south” and gives it a very distinctive charm that leads to new opportunities especially at your meetings:
three cultures, three different landscapes and different travel experiences …
Each guest is welcomed by a transnational cultural region with a mixture of different influences – be they cultural or culinary. This adds excitement to this region.
Guests who visit Carinthia and the Alps-Adriatic region are “explorers”, eager to experience the region’s particularities and diversity.
