Austria

A Central European Alpine country combining Vienna’s imperial classical-music culture with lake-and-mountain scenery and world-class ski resorts.

Austria is a landlocked country in Central Europe, most of it covered by the Eastern Alps, with the Danube flowing through the north. The capital, Vienna, is known for its Habsburg palaces, opera and café culture; Salzburg is Mozart’s birthplace; the Hallstatt lake region is picture-perfect; and Innsbruck and Kitzbühel are major winter ski centers. Summer is ideal for hiking and lakeside holidays, while winter suits skiing and Christmas markets. The main gateway is Vienna International Airport, with airports also at Salzburg and Innsbruck, and the rail network is extensive.
