Sailing on a Danube river cruise that includes Vienna or other Austrian ports-of-call? A new and free smartphone application called “Austria. Unique Like You” was recently unveiled by the Austrian Tourist Office. Available for iPhones, Blackberry as well as Android phones, the app is designed as a personal guide to travel experiences in Austria. The app pledges “one-of-a-kind suggestions and ideas for discovery and exploration beyond the ordinary,” as well as an easy slider system for accessing travel information based on the user’s interests. The app is not only designed for the pre-planning stage, but is also a handy tool while in Austria. The “Near Me” feature promises that users can easily access sites around them using their GPS.

Augmented Reality (AR) shows sites close by when using the camera function on the phone. An audio guide teaches the most important phrases in typically Austrian dialect. Sample experiences include off-the-beaten-path vintners and wine taverns, amazing restaurants, unusual museums, shopping information and family attractions. All of these are easily accessible while traveling the country. To give a better sense of where experiences are located, the app features a map that shows all experiences. It can be downloaded at Austria. Unique Like You. For more information, visit the Austrian Tourist Office official website.
