So picture this…
...you’re sitting on the restaurant balcony, the view in front of you is a mix of cotton candy sunset and deep blue ocean. The lights of the coastal city twinkle around you. You sip on the full flavor of your chianti wine as the Italian music fills the air. Now that is what I call a night in Positano!

The Amalfi Coast has been on our bucket list for years now! Finally I can share with you how to visit Positano and not hold back! Im talking beach clubs, boujee dinners with views you thought only existed in Pinterest boards. Make sure to visit our whole Positano Guide!

Not to mention some seafood and lots of Aperol Spritz mixed in there.
The food in Positano is something else. Some of the best pasta and freshest seafood that I have ever experienced. But be prepared… the prices are definitely up there!

They say that food in Italy is cheap, well Positano is an exception. Yes, you will be paying a bit more than usual but if you go to some of these spots that we went to, I promise you will not regret it!

La Tagliata
Definitely a restaurant with a view! $50 per person for a 5-course meal, endless wine, and transportation to and from the restaurant… it’s a bargain! This family-owned spot doesn’t have a menu but their set dinner is to die for!

If you are going to Positano to enjoy some sun, book a beach club!
Unless you want to be packed into the tiny public beach with dozens of tourists, you are going to want to reserve a spot at one of the many beach clubs. By spending the day at a beach club you can ensure that you will have privacy, space, and a relaxing environment.

La Scogliera
We booked spot 201. Your booking includes your private spot along the cliffs and your chairs and towels.
This is the pricier beach club but it comes with the advantage of being more exclusive. It is a bit more on the boujee end but well worth it! You will enjoy a private day in your luxury day bed section built into the Positano beachside cliffs.
INSIDER TIP: order a limoncello spritz, it’s MASSIVE and so yummy!

Positano is a very romantic place if you know where to go!
It can be super easy to get caught up in the shuffle of endless tourists so try to book your excursions ahead of time to take away some of that stress.

Bluestar Private Boat Tour
A boat tour is a must-do when you visit Positano. The view of the town from the water is simply breathtaking. We booked the boat in connection with our photo shoot. A sunset cruise along the coast from Positano was 250 euros for 90 minutes. (40 euro discount if you pay cash in person)

It was an amazing shoot though, he even takes your phone and films lots of behind-the-scenes videos for you!

Believe it or not, Mozart was an original Salzburger. When Mozart was born, the town of Salzburg was an ecclesiastical principality of the Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg and a state of the Holy Roman Empire.

Salzburg is a city with deep-rooted traditions with vibrations of vitality. The UNESCO World Heritage City of Salzburg is a small, world-class town with an excellent reputation for top-class music and cultural events.

The legacy of the Prince-Archbishopric can be found in the lifestyle culture and in the churches of the old town, while contemporary trends and art break up the supposedly classical-conservative facade. Where the prince-archbishops demonstrated their power and once lived in pomp, you can now find down-to-earth markets and century-old traditional shops.

Often times, you won't know where to look: at the hand-forged iron guild signs in the Getreidegasse or the displays of international labels and charming passageways in the old town. It quickly becomes clear why UNESCO awarded the ensemble of church towers, a fortress, and city mountains the title of "World Heritage Site" back in 1997.

If you look for a drink with a wow factor, look no further than Georgie's Bar. Their shots are fire ... literally, they set their shots on fire. With unique cocktails and a live DJ that transforms the bar at night, this is the perfect spot to turn up your night.

It is one of the most exciting locations and at the same time one of the absolute gourmet hotspots: With 2 stars in the Michelin Guide, 5 forks in the Falstaff, and 4 toques in the Gault & Millau, the SENNS.Restaurant in the Salzburg Gusswerk building is one of the best addresses in Europe. The SENNS.Restaurant is located in an abandoned bell foundry on the outskirts of the city.

Only the best products are used in the kitchen, which star chef and owner Andreas Senn, together with his head chef Christian Geisler, can track down on the world market. With an extraordinary sensitivity for aromas, textures, and surprising compositions, the focus is always on the essential - the taste. Guests from all over the world marvel at the exciting dishes and culinary experiences that know no bounds.

The Tomaselli is the oldest coffee house in Austria. According to research on Tomaselli’s history, the origins of the coffee house can be traced back to 1700.

The Tomaselli is located directly on the Alten Markt and starts serving a typical Austrian breakfast in the early morning hours. During the day, the guests can expect a wide variety of coffee creations and the most delicious homemade pastries.

The Kirchenwirt in Leogang was built in 1326! Imagine how many guests it has seen. It is not only a super unique hotel but also hosts one of the best restaurants around with 4 Hauben from Gault Millau. Beds were very comfortable, breakfast buffet came with fresh Eierschwammerl and with only 17 rooms it was very personal and quiet. We will be back!

No visit to Salzburg is truly complete without savoring the iconic flavors of the city!

I love to indulge in the original Sacher Wuerstel with mustard and horseradish, or the original Tomaselli Melange, served with a generous dollop of whipped cream:)

Both Hotel Sacher and Tomaselli are legendary establishments, beloved by travelers who appreciate the finer things in life.

But that's not all! While you're here, don't forget to visit Stiegl Brau just behind the Dome of Salzburg and raise a glass of the exquisite Stiegl Bier, one of the famous local brews that perfectly complements a culinary experience.

These culinary landmarks are a must-visit during your luxury break in Salzburg.

They are the perfect blend of tradition, luxury, and gastronomic delight. It's a true highlight of any Salzburg trip.

So, go ahead and treat your taste buds to a symphony of flavors in the heart of this enchanting city. Your culinary adventure awaits!
