If you’re planning on visiting Austria at the end of June, you’ve got to check out the Sonnenwende (Summer Solstice) celebrations. Held each year around June 21 in the Wachau region of Lower Austria, the festival is a real feast for the senses. The UNESCO-listed Wachau Valley creates the perfect backdrop for the popular Austrian festival. During the celebrations, the evening is lit up with dramatic firework displays, huge bonfires, vineyards full of twinkling torches, and dancing lights that gracefully float down the river Danube. The atmosphere is so magical that you get a sense that anything can happen.
