The natural and cultural beauty and variety make Austria a small - in a
geographical sense - jewel in the heart of Europe.
There is no other country that has made such enormous musical
contributions to the world or had such an enduring influence on the
international musical scene.
Austria offers the riches of Europe in the proverbial nutshell:
spectacular vistas, Alpine splendor, pulsating nightlife, sophisticated
shopping, classical culture and culinary adventure. And not to forget:
Austria is the cradle of Alpine skiing - and skiing is a way of life in
the country of any skier's dreams. Austria has been a favored travel
destination for more than a thousand years and we would like to
introduce you to Austria, its Imperial Cities and Alpine Splendor, and
possibly whet your appetite to get to know more about it all.
