Salzburg

Austria’s most recognised tourism representative in Australia, the highly esteemed Astrid Gruchmann-Licht, has been back in the country this week to promote the 60th Anniversary of The Sound of Music and the events that will take place in 2025 to celebrate the classic musical.

Astrid Gruchmann-Licht is heading back to Australian shores next month, and the former long-time regional head of Austria National Tourist Board is bringing The Sound of Music with her!

From history-filled luxury hotels to artsy hideaways – here are Austria’s best city hotels. Sightseeing during the day, relaxing in style at night: Just think of the many historic sights, the buzzing culture and art scene, and the many top-notch restaurants welcoming guests with all the world-famous delights.

The number of Australian overnight stays in Austria has surpassed pre-COVID levels, and is anticipated to increase further when additional air capacity opens up.

Austria Tourism’s former Australian Director Astrid Gruchmann-Licht has made a surprisingly fast return to the travel industry representing her home state of Salzburg, LATTE can reveal.

The city of Salzburg is a must on every Austria itinerary – the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, home to the world-famous Salzburg Festival and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Salzburg is surrounded by stunning countryside that is waiting to be explored. These hotels showcase the best of the region.

Before starting on a tour of two remarkable hotels, let us look at sachertorte, universally the world’s best-known cake. Ever since Viennese pastry cook Franz Sacher created it in 1832, the cake has grown in popularity.
