A beautiful historical village, but a long day - Great historical site, beautiful little village and an excellent guide with Steve. Be prepared, it’s a long 13 hour day. If you don’t take the gondola up the mountain, there’s good a bit of dead time before the boat ride. The boat ride was honestly anti-climactic as it was maybe all of 15 minutes long.

Long day but scenery is amazing - Breathtaking town. It is something to see for sure. They were kind enough to pick us up at the hotel. The bus was nice enough and air conditioned. The guide was ok. It was a short and congested boat ride.

Pretty picturesque place but… - It’s a very beautiful little town stunning scenery and architecture but there’s nothing to do other than wander around and see the waterfall. If you go get there early, we arrived 9.30am and it was reasonably quiet in early June but by 11.30am it was filling up quickly mainly with hoards of Japanese tourists. It’s also a tourist rip off place parking’s extortionate as are the restaurants and cafes, €12 for a pancake 🙄 really! Take note! all the businesses only take cash and the Atm’s charge a shocking fee to withdraw cash, and I didn’t see a mention of a charge before hand. I was charged €6.50 for withdrawing €50. If I had the choice again I wouldn’t bother going.

Beautiful place but overcrowded and unwelcomed. - Pro : Amazing view, lovely little place and beautiful lake.
Cons: too crowded. Cannot even take any picture with so many people. Restaurants options are not many and all full. Locals are not friendly and wish no one would visit the place if possible (too noisy for them).
I would recommend you visit other more accommodating places. Tourists are not welcome in Hallstatt by locals
