Let’s Plan Our Holiday

Austria is known as a mountainous country due to its location in the Alps, only about 32% of the total area is below 500m. Subsequently this country is has a wide variety of holiday offers. Famous ski-centres are Innsbruck, Kitzbühel, St. Anton, Ischgl, Flattach. Top ski-slopes during winter-time, turn into scenic walking trails during summer. The wonderful nature of the Austrian mountains, rivers, lakes and vast forests, offer a large choice of different locations to spend your summer holiday. But skiing and snowboarding are by no means limited to winter only. In the regions of Carinthia, Salzburg, Styria and Tirol there are 8 year-round winter sports areas.

But Austria has far more to offer. The capital Vienna is known for its cultural splendor. Places to visit: the Imperial Palace - Hofburg, Schönbrunn Palace, St. Stephen ’s Cathedral, the Spanish Riding School, the Giant Ferris Wheel, the Imperial Burial Vault. Vienna is also the capital of music. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert, are amongst the most famous composers who lived and worked in this city. Four opera houses witness the importance of music to this city.

Places to visit: the Cathedral, Hohensalzburg Fortress, St. Peter’s Monastery and cemetery, the Franciscan Church, the Large and Small Festival Halls, Mirabell Palace and Gardens.
