Austria

A Land of Mountains, Music, and Majesty

Cities Steeped in History and Culture

Vienna, the capital, is a city brimming with Habsburg-era grandeur. Explore the magnificent Schönbrunn Palace, get lost in the Kunsthistorisches Museum's art collections, or catch a performance at the world-famous Vienna State Opera. Salzburg, Mozart's birthplace, is another must-visit, with its charming Altstadt (Old Town) and impressive medieval fortress.

A Playground for Outdoor Lovers

Austria's breathtaking alpine scenery is a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts. Hike or bike through the majestic Tirol region, go white-water rafting on the Inn River, or hit the slopes in one of the many world-class ski resorts. In summer, the crystal-clear lakes offer opportunities for swimming, sailing, and windsurfing.

Beyond the City Limits

Venture beyond the cities and discover charming villages, fairytale castles, and vineyards nestled amidst rolling hills. Explore the Hallstatt region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning lakeside setting or delve into the unique customs and traditions of the Tyrolean people.
