Austria Travel Guide

Austria is a land-locked alpine German speaking country in Central Europe bordering Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the W, Germany and Czech Republic to the N, Slovakia and Hungary to the E and Slovenia and Italy to the S.

Austria, along with neighbouring Switzerland, is the winter sports capital of Europe. However, it's popularity is also high in the summer as tourists enjoy the historic cities and villages and hike in the magnificent scenery of the Alps. Austria is a popular travel destination for guests from all over the world who appreciate its beautiful landscapes, rich culture, delicious local cuisine, hospitality and safety. There's plenty to tempt the winter tourist of their ski boots and enlighten the summer traveller with a surprising blend of attractions. One can stride through the Tennengebirge’s lunar landscape to drink cider with the farmers in Mostviertel orchards, there's the option to catapult down the jaw-dropping Harakiri in Mayrhofen to bathing in Salzkammergut’s idylic lakes. Visit historic spa towns like Bad Ischl or discover new age cities such as Linz.

Austria's heritage is a grand one from Vienna’s incredible Habsburg palaces to Salzburg’s baroque delights. There's also the lesser known tourist attractions of Stone Age settlements, Roman archaeological sites at Carnuntum and medieval festivals. Austria is where Mozart composed and Strauss taught the world to twirl providing more than a little music and dance to entertain the visitors.
