Off the Beaten Path in Hallstatt

The real Hallstatt lives beyond the tourist trail. In the neighborhoods where locals actually spend their time, you'll find the authentic character, the unmarked restaurants, and the quiet corners that make a city worth knowing.

Hallstatt is a tiny lakeside village wedged between a mirror-still Alpine lake and soaring Dachstein cliffs, one of the most photographed places in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
