We stayed in October, but the amount of tourists flooding this tiny waterfront town was astounding. I can't imagine what it's like in summer. Thus most hotel prices in town were still extremely high ($300 a night??), and this was the only affordable one advertising through Priceline. A free shuttle drove us from the P1 parking lot. The hotel owner was not pleased with our presumably late arrival at 8 or 9pm. Our room was on the third floor (no elevator). The bathrooms/showers were shared. In our room was a sink and a heater, which we made use of. There was an electronic tea kettle available outside the room, although no cups in sight. There was also a communal microwave and mini- fridge. No utensils or plates, though... Since the sleepy town didn't come alive until 9am or so on a weekday, our frantic morning search for coffee ended in a fancy hotel nearby. Tips for staying here: 1. Bring cash - no cards accepted. 2. Bring your own cups and utensils if you plan to make your own hot beverage or eat leftovers. If I visit Hallstatt again, I plan to stay in Obertraun, closer to the ice caves. The hotels there are less expensive and not very far from Hallstatt.

First off, Hallstatt is adorably tiny and has…read morelimited real estate which means hotel prices can get pretty expensive if you can even find any in the summer tourist season. After taking a hard look at the $200-300/day options, we decided on Cafe Restaurant zum Muhlbach as it was one of the few that were reasonably priced. The owner (I think) was friendly and spoke English well. She also helped us find the closest swimming spot and someone brought our luggage to our room while we were out. Awesome! The room itself is small and nondescript but we did have a pretty patio with a fabulous view of the lake. The shared bathrooms (which I was dreading) was actually not an issue at all. On our floor alone there were 3; they looked renovated and were super clean! The only thing I had a major issue with was the quality of the bedding. I get that we're not paying for the Ritz, but the slippery, polyestery, heat-trapping sheets and blankets in a non-air conditioned room on a hot June night was unbearable. I had a terrible night's sleep and was thankful to only stay one night. Overall it's a fine B&B for the price and the bedding issue is such an easy one to remedy. I couldn't sleep at all but others may find it ok. The location is super central and there's an affectionate chubby cat for company.

We're able to pick up a couple great specials. One was a complete fish from the lake that was viewed from the window we sat by. The other was a duck special. The duck came with some delicious potato cake puffs. The sauce that was served with it was a little bit tangy with the duck was delicious and a sauerkraut. I'll have to leave to you because not something I enjoy the fish was wonderful. Served with potatoes. Looked like it was broiled with some garlic and herbs on top. Really delicious. A little bit of a hike to get to this place but the work views were amazing and the food delicious. Highly recommend the trec!

Oldest salt mine in Europe. Make sure you buy tickets for the skywalk and salt mine if you're…read moreinterested in the salt mine. Be aware that it's about 2 hour tour start to finish and 1.2 miles walk in the mine. From the Skywalk, it's at least a 15 minutes walk up hill to the building. Tour runs every 30 minutes. We did not reserve ahead of time and just walked up to the line. There's a clock that tells you when the next tour starts. You go inside to give them your ticket then you're escorted into the locker room where they will give you protective clothing to wear over your own clothing. Then you're in a holding area where they go over the rules. I asked if I was allowed to bring my selfie stick and she said yes even though the safety video showed it as prohibited. Then you walk outside and you're in front of the salt mine. As you enter the cave, you walk in single file line between the tracks. Be aware that you'll be walking a total of 1.243 miles on foot deep deep into the mountain. There are two sets of slides. The first is shorter and practice round. The second one is the longest in Europe. You have the option of using the stairs. Don't forget to smile as there are cameras and it records your speed. Other parts of the tour require you to watch a screen and light show. Instead of walking back 1.2 miles, you sit on a train that will take you back outside the cave. You go back into the locker room to remove the protective clothing and have a chance to purchase your photo. You receive a mini salt bottle as a souvenir.

Charming B&B in Picturesque Hallstatt…read more There are two small sections of Hallstatt - the old historic center and the newer (suburbs) right next door. This hotel is in the newer (suburbs) section right near the funicular that takes you up to the Skywalk and Salt mine. You can easily walk from one end of town to the other in about 15 minutes, so location and proximity to all the town has to offer is fantastic. And being just outside the tourist center is a plus, as far as I'm concerned. The hotel has parking if you're driving a car (which we did) and quaint, comfortable rooms with free breakfast included. But what set this hotel apart from the rest and exceeded my expectations was the home-cooked dinner prepared by the owners. Although you must reserve in advance and is available on a first-come-first-served basis, this was my family's favorite meal in Austria and it made our short stay in Hallstatt immensely enjoyable. We felt right at home thanks to the charming hospitality of the Salzbachers.

Alright, alright, I confess that I visited this tourism office wayyyy more than the average…read morevisitor. Ya know, three times in 24 hours. Why? Well, the train was out of order in the town I was staying in (Bad Aussee) which made traveling to and fro a bit of a nightmare. It took a train, bus and ferry to travel 6miles (2 hours!). And, on top of all that, this particular bus required a phone call to be picked up and I'm rolling without cell service. So, all that to say, the ladies working in the tourism office were my heroes. A few more helpful notes: -they're located by the bus station -free and easy to use WiFi during their operational hours -the tourism building houses a bathroom (one euro per entry); however, I wouldn't recommend this bathroom as it was exceptionally dirty and overrun -across the street you'll find a super busy grocery in case you're looking to make a picnic
