HALLSTATT, AUSTRIA

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

The Perfect European Winter Fairytale Town

Hallstatt, Austria is a fairytale come to life. I’ve been dreaming of visiting this magical village in the winter ever since I first saw a picture of it!

To get to Hallstatt, we took the train from Austria to a stop directly across the lake from  town, and then rode a ferry across the swan-filled lake.

Hallstatt is beautiful from literally every angle. It’s like the town version of Beyonce.

Hallstatt, Austria at twilight during a winter snowstorm is stunning. Mountains, fog, snow… this is my literal heaven!

Marketplatz, the main square, is the center of Christmas cheer in Hallstatt!

We saw these beautiful yellow stars all through the town, but we couldn’t figure out why!

The food at our accomodation, the 700-year-old Brau-Gasthof (brewery guesthouse), was some of the best we tried in Austria! Pictured here: goulash with dumplings.
