"Custom-made shirts at Gino Venturini, one of the oldest shops in the city, just around the corner from St. Stephen's Cathedral. Once you've been measured there, you don't have to worry about anything anymore and your shirts can be shipped all over the world."
"Vienna isn't complete without... Sacher cake. Although I personally am a huge fan of the Sacher cube with rum, it's even juicier than the cake."
"Do you have a hotel tip for us? The new Mandarin Oriental. Everything is very well arranged, as we say in Austria. A great spa and a really good gym, which I use regularly. I always stay there during Eurovision rehearsals and show week. It feels like home."
"How do you actually prepare for the shows? We started two months ago. From Sunday to Wednesday I'm in Vienna for rehearsals and recordings, and from Thursday to Saturday I'm in Cologne for Let's Dance. In between, I was also in Berlin to launch my fashion brand Orimei by Victoria Swarovski with About You. The last three weeks before the Eurovision Song Contest are really scheduled down to the minute, there's hardly a free moment from early morning until late at night."
Custom-made shirts are available at Gino Venturini, an old shop near St. Stephen’s Cathedral, where measurements enable worldwide shipping. Vienna is associated with Sacher cake, with a preference for the Sacher cube with rum as a juicier option. A hotel recommendation is the Mandarin Oriental, described as well arranged, with a great spa and a gym used regularly, creating a home-like feeling. Show preparation starts two months in advance, with rehearsals and recordings in Vienna from Sunday to Wednesday, and work in Cologne for Let’s Dance from Thursday to Saturday. Additional time is spent in Berlin launching the Orimei fashion brand with About You, and the final three weeks before Eurovision are scheduled minute by minute.
