Vanillekipferl have always been a favorite Christmas cookie of Austrians.Here is one Austrian grandmother’s recipe, which is easy to make and really delicious. (They also make a great holiday present for friends and family. We’re just sayin’...)

You just returned to the Hotel Sacher from a day of strolling through Vienna’s beautiful historic city center and are not only intellectually satisfied, but most likely exhausted. 

Now it’s "Time to Chocolate."

Enjoy your own personal butler service at the Imperial Hotel in Vienna and experience being treated like an old-world aristocrat. The Imperial is one of the few hotels in the world, and the only hotel in Austria, offering such a service.

Burgenland is not the Austria you have in mind. Maria von Trapp will not be traipsing over a mountain range. Nor will you find a gaggle of twentysomethings dressed in lederhosen while devouring Sachertorte.

Come and end your summer with a huge splash at the fifth annual Pink Lake international LGBT Festival on Austria’s gorgeous Lake Woerthersee from August 23-26, 2012.

Austria’s Pink Lake is a resort in one of Europe’s most beautiful rural areas. For the 5th year, it is hosting a full weekend of parties. This is a chance to experience a gorgeous bucolic retreat with lots of hot guys.

Some were hot Saturday at Vienna’s Life Ball, a glitzy mega-party at Vienna’s City Hall staged to raise funds for fighting AIDS. And some were not.

Dare to flirt. This summer, the Austrian Tourist Office dares you to succumb to dirndl temptation. This summer, the Austrian Tourist Office is bringing the dirndl to New York and would like to invite you to be part of it.

The 5th annual Pink Lake International Gay Festival will take place August 23-26, 2012 on the beautiful Lake Woerthersee, Austria.

The Life Ball transforms the historic Viennese city hall into a phantasmagoria of light and sound, music and dance, surrounding this year’s theme of FIRE!
