okay, now on to another one of my vacation recommendations. how about spending new year's in austria? sure, i'm insane, but someone who reads this might be thinking, "that jon is a crazy motherfucker. i kind of like that about him." yes, a trip to austria is not cheap, but it's not ridiculous either. it also seems that, monitarily, certain parts of this country would be best suited to visit different parts of austria. ![]() if you live in the northeast, i'd recommend going to innsbruck. it's a huge college town (25,000+ students) tucked away in the alps. 'tis the season for a visit to this city, a winter sports mecca. don't feel like skiing? how about giving curling a shot? or take a trip down the Olympic bobsled run. on new year's day, there are torchlit celebrations in the old town and on the mountains. not to mention that taking a trip up to the top of the alps will reveal one of the most beautiful panoramic images you could ever hope to store away in your head. if you want to find a place a little off the beaten path where you can meet cool peeps to party with, check out youth hostel st. nikolaus. they offer a cheap dinner which is quite good, plus inexpensive beers with your meal. not a bad deal. also, they'll let you stay out until whenever you please (even if they tell you there's a curfew when you check in, just ask them nicely if you can come back at whatever time you like and they'll be totally cool about it). also, on your walk to and from the hostel, you will get to see one of the most amazing landscapes you could possibly imagine. make certain to go to the tourist office and get an innsbruck card if you plan on taking the funicular to the top of the mountains. not only is it cheaper than buying a direct ticket, it also gets you into most of the major tourist sites for free. if you can't make it to innsbruck for new year's, you might want to go in april and may for the world hockey championships! ![]() if you live in the midwest or southwest, it seems that vienna is the place for you. you certainly can't go wrong being in the country's capital when the clock strikes midnight. there's tons of neat historical stuff to see here, and few things are as satisfying as sitting in a viennese coffee shop, sipping back a brauner or two, while munching on some serious pastry. as far as nightlife goes, vienna definitely has it. for a cheap place to stay where you will meet tons of cool people, i definitely recommend wombats. residents of the west coast or rocky mountain region should visit salzburg. home of mozart, a huge medieval fortress, and some of the best food in austria, this is the perfect place for a low-key, romantic holiday. of course, all bets are off on new year's eve... be absolutely sure you take the day trips to lustschloss hellbrunn and untersberg peak. there are obviously more places than just these three to visit in austria, but it would take days for me to go over all of it. as you can see, i've been to innsbruck and vienna, but haven't made it to salzburg yet. however, if you're like me, you know just from looking at these pictures that it's a place worth visiting. |
