Vienna
Vienna, the elegant capital of Austria, is a city where imperial history meets modern culture, making it an ideal destination for a getaway. Known as the City of Music, Vienna has been home to some of the greatest composers, including Mozart, Beethoven, and Strauss. Visitors can immerse themselves in the city’s rich musical heritage by attending a performance at the Vienna State Opera or exploring the House of Music, an interactive museum celebrating the history of classical music. For architecture enthusiasts, Vienna’s grand palaces, such as Schönbrunn Palace and the Hofburg, offer a glimpse into the opulent lives of the Habsburg monarchy.
Beyond its historic landmarks, Vienna boasts a vibrant café culture that has been recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage. Traditional coffee houses like Café Central and Café Sacher are perfect spots to enjoy a cup of rich Viennese coffee paired with a slice of the iconic Sachertorte. Strolling through the city’s charming streets, visitors can explore the Naschmarkt, Vienna’s most famous food market, offering a delightful mix of local produce, international cuisine, and artisan goods. Art lovers will also find plenty to admire at the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Belvedere, where masterpieces such as Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss” are on display.
For those seeking relaxation, Vienna’s many green spaces provide a peaceful retreat. The Prater, a sprawling public park, is home to the historic Giant Ferris Wheel, offering stunning views of the city. Meanwhile, the Danube River offers opportunities for boat cruises or leisurely walks along its scenic banks. The blend of cultural experiences, world-class museums, and serene outdoor settings makes Vienna a destination that caters to a variety of interests. Whether exploring its imperial past or enjoying its modern charm, Vienna delivers an enriching and unforgettable experience.

In late 2023, I was delighted to be asked to help Tony bring the Magari Tours brand to market, working exclusively with the very best specialist travel agencies in the south of the country.
I loved the concept of the idea from the very moment was started talking, a different kind of escorted tour that focuses on both amazing experiences, and discovering less well-known regions of Italy. To say that I didn’t understand the ‘Magari’ name to start with is a bit of an understatement because I thought it sounded Irish – but having ‘a wish or a desire’ to do a trip like this is truly everything this encapsulates.
Having been on one of Magari’s tours myself, I can say it lives up to the hype. You would never ordinarily go to the Imgana Valley close to Lake Como, but the hotel you stay at with Magari is a fabulous family-run hotel with the most amazing food. The tours you go out on to places such as Bergamo or Lake Iseo are interesting, helped by the wonderful Wendy who is both extremely knowledgeable and a great tour manager.
This really is a lovely company, and you’ll love the unique way in which you will see Italy, it’s magical.
