Luggit Intro (2)

Do you know that, too? You arrive at your holiday destination early in the morning or do not travel home until late in the evening, but you are not yet able to use your apartment or can no longer use it. This always leaves the question of what to do with the luggage? LUGGit now solves this problem in a very convenient way. So I asked Ricardo, the founder of LUGGit, to tell you everything about this great new service in Vienna.

Who-is-Intro

I was fascinated at first sight by Carina when we met for the first time, and so we started chatting very quickly. Because her job, or rather her calling, is very special: she tells the stories of life. My life a book is her company and what exactly it is, she tells you today in the blog.

Streetfood Intro

How difficult can it be to open a mobile snack stand? that's what Kristina Eggers and Patrick Bubna-Litic thought in summer 2019. And founded the green duke & the healthy duchess, Vienna's first food bike. It was challenging, but in the end you can now enjoy their wonderful food and drinks. Today in the blog, the two of them tell you more about their very special company.

Klettersteig Intro

My life is a stroke of luck. I managed to combine two of my passions and make money from it. I love books and I need a lot of exercise in nature. I have been able to design the Kral Verlag leisure program for nine years. That means constant suggestions and preoccupation with hiking, leisure ideas and temptations. Stephanie has already reported on our book program in her wonderful blog.

Chris and his wife Mateja I got to know as they stayed in on of our apartments for the time they are in Vienna. Well and I took the chance to interview him how the life is working on a Christmas Market in winter and on music festivals in summer. And what he is doing in the time in between.

I got to know Lisa some time ago during a performance of her cabaret program Ehrengrab and was enthusiastic about her from the start. Because the program is very special, as it combines two things that are very contradictory to our culture: laughter and death. If you then add the Viennese unfriendliness, then something very special and profoundly Viennese results out of this.

A shopping street and a cozy cafe on 150m². That can be found right in the middle of Vienna in the `s Fachl and Kaffeebox. More about this great concept and how it all began tells you today Oliver Pinetz, shop manager and coffee lover.

Vienna has much more to offer than just Schönbrunn Palace or the Giant Ferris Wheel. It also has many other nice corners and leisure activities. We, the trainees Zoe and Giulia, thought about what we could do in Vienna, to write you more about those other sides of the city and decided to research on the wildlife in Vienna. As there is so much to explore we split the blog articles. Today we start with the underwater world in the aqua terra zoo.
