10 overrated things in Vienna, Austria and what to do instead.


Austria has a reputation for being a living postcard—grand, historic, and incredibly photogenic. But does "classic" always have to mean "crowded and overhyped"? After living here for over 30 years, we’ve seen how easy it is for visitors to spend their precious time and money on the "wrong" version of our home.

In this video, we’re taking you along for a "friend-to-friend" guide to the 10 most overrated things in Austria. We’re skipping the famous landmarks that have turned into tourist traps and sharing "The Swap"—the authentic, local alternatives we actually choose as residents.

From the secret chocolate cake that actually appears on our family birthday tables to the Alpine villages where you can still hear the birds sing, we’re showing you how to find the authentic soul of the country.
