In this travel special episode of the Lifestyle, Travel & Technology podcast, the hosts Alexander, Garry and Nikky talk about how all their journey’s in life lead them to settle down in Vienna, Austria and form the LTnT podcast.

Vienna, a city known for its classical music and pastries, is considered a UNESCO world heritage site. Garry, has lived in the city, the longest of all hosts, whilst the other hosts moved to Vienna at a later point in time. They discuss how Vienna is divided into 23 districts, the Viennese coffee culture and the street food the capital is known for.

Since each host has had their own experiences, they share their insights as to what other food there is to try, interesting historical facts/information and much more to future tourists wanting to come and visit this beautiful city.

Did you know, in the city center, there are no high-rise buildings? Tune in to the episode to find out why.
