Stunning scenery, architecture and a fascinating history makes Austria a great destination whatever the weather. The Austrian Alps are a paradise for hill walkers in the summer and skiers in the winter. A world leader in all things cultural, the cities heave with music and art festivals throughout the year. Austria is a fine country to explore and visitors will understand what all the fuss is about when a little time is spent amongst the rolling hills and cobbled streets.

Rolling hills and beautiful scenery surrounds Salzburg, in the south of the country. Home of Mozart and that other great contribution to culture, The Sound of Music, Salzburg has everything visitors would expect. Vienna is an old Imperial city, the place for lovers of fine music and cultural sights. Enjoy some of the great Austiran treats of fancy pastries, chocolate and coffee in the cafes of the smaller cities of Innsbruck and Graz. A trip through Austria gives visitors the chance to enjoy small town traditions. Freistadt near the Czech border, Melk in the Danube valley, Baden famous for its thermal spa, the alpine town of Bad Ischal and the architecturally challenging Bad Radkersburg in the southeast are just some of the towns the epitomise the fabulous atmosphere of this fascinating country.
