Last update: 7 hours agoEurovision Fallout in Vienna: Tonight’s Eurovision grand final goes ahead, but the mood is split.

Travel Signals for Germans: Egypt has overtaken Spain as the top winter destination for Germans, helped by stable weather, short flights and strong package deals—while Hungary’s Lake Balaton faces a potential hit if a stronger forint pushes locals to holiday abroad. Vienna’s Everyday Edge: A fresh take praises Vienna’s punctual, reliable Tube system—an easy win for visitor confidence right as Eurovision crowds arrive.
