Visit Austria

It’s difficult to dispute Austria’s Old World charm – think intricate palaces of the bygone Habsburg era and fanciful society waltzes to a Mozart and Strauss soundtrack.

The predominantly German speaking Alpine country also holds modern appeal for those who love the great outdoors and adrenaline sports, beckoned by the siren call of jaw-dropping natural landscapes that are dramatically marked with diamond-like glaciers, ice caves and jagged mountain crags.  

Whatever time of year, Austria is magical. Ski the snowy peaks of Harakiri in winter or visit a Christmas market that serves up steaming mulled wine and bowls of boiled dumplings. As the weather warms up, take a dip or a canoe ride in the Salzkammergut lake district, or channel your inner Fraulein Maria on a Sound of Music tour, stopping at each of the now-famous movie sites on a sing-along bus.

Austria’s capital, Vienna, is home to a number of historic palaces – Schönbrunn, Belvedere and Helbrunn – along with noteworthy museums, cosy cafes and its celebrated opera house. Salzburg is another crucial stop, where baroque architecture, music and art collide. Or visit Innsbruck, a medieval city dwarfed by snow-capped mountains and dotted with postcard-perfect cathedrals and castles.
