After traveling to 40 countries, I finally found my favorite travel destination!

Friends often ask me: "You've been to 40 countries, which one is your favorite?" I never had a definite answer. 😳 First, I live in Iceland, a country that many people call the ultimate travel destination, so my travel threshold is very high. Second, there are very few travel destinations that have all five of these elements: reasonable prices, beautiful scenery, good security, delicious food, and a pleasant climate. But this year, I found my favorite travel destination, and that is Austria 🇦🇹. By chance, I traveled to Austria five times, each time for 10 days to half a month. Each trip refreshed my understanding of this country. Thanks to the invitation of the Austrian National Tourist Office, I packed my bags again, said goodbye to the cold nights of Iceland, and flew to Austria. ✈️ This is my second vacation in Austria this year, and I chose Salzburg again. This land, which combines the beauty of history and nature, is like a never-fading painting. Whether it is the solemnity of the old city, the elegance of the royal hotel, or the tranquility of the lake district, it attracts me, a traveler from afar. The ancient city of Salzburg is like a bright pearl, inlaid between the green mountains and rivers. This is the cradle of Mozart, where notes float in the air, and the outlines of the buildings seem to tell ancient stories. 🏰 If Salzburg is the elegance of humanity, then the lake district not far from Salzburg is the sound of nature. The emerald lakes hidden in the green mountains are like a few bright gems. I also chose one of the only two Rosewood hotels in Austria as my base for this trip. The hotel is located by the lake, and when you open the window of your room, you can see the lake and mountains. It is truly a secluded paradise. In October, it was awarded the highest honor of the "Michelin Star Key" rating - "Three Star Key". It used to be a castle where royal family members came to escape the summer heat, and it was also the filming location of the movie "Sissi". 👸 Hiking is the best way to explore the lake district. The lake district is composed of lakes of different sizes and small towns built by the lake. Towns such as Gosau and Wolfgang are worth visiting. Walking along the lakeside path, your steps are light, and you can only hear the whisper of the wind and the chirping of birds. The sparkling lake, the majestic snow-capped mountains, and the quiet forest are truly a magnificent painting! 🏔 If you are looking for a place to escape the world, you can't miss the lake district of Austria. Wash your body and mind in the lakes and mountains, and find a place for your soul in the tranquility. The mountains and rivers are silent, but they are enough to comfort every traveler who is looking for a place for their soul. 🍃
