I am Tammy Founder and Chief Austria Wanderlust’er’

Welcome to Austria Wanderlust, a Austria Travel blog and Austria Travel Planning Resource.
Austria Wanderlust is a Austria Travel blog that offers DIY travellers the resources to craft bespoke memorable Austrian adventures without using expensive travel agents or tour operators.

I live in the beautiful Austrian Alps and I love travelling in Austria.

I am passionate about sharing my knowledge, tips and love of Austria.

Discover Austria Your Way!

Z   Overwhelmed with finding information to plan your Austrian holiday?
Z   You do not want to be restricted to organised ‘one-size fits all’ tours
Z Want to discover hidden gems- beyond the main tourist sights?
Z   Prefer to organise your holiday to Austria rather than rely on a travel agent?

Memorable Austrian holidays are not created by overseas travel agents or AI algorithms that only give you a one-size-fits-all itinerary, visiting only mainstream tourist attractions.

We provide accurate insider knowledge and local connections for English-speaking visitors to Austria.

Destination Guides

Austria is famous for its snowcapped alpine vistas, lush verdant valleys, pristine blue lakes, Baroque architecture, Imperial history, quaint villages and opulent cities.
Whether you are a history enthusiast, an outdoor adventurer,  a lover of art and music, or just want to relax in a spa.
Austria has something for every traveller.
