ALPS, MOZART AND THE SOUND OF MUSIC… all part of the allure of Austria, where chocolate-box villages and the snow-capped Tyrol lend lashings of eye appeal.
With a snow season lasting from November to April, there’s plenty of the white stuff here for winter sports fans. But there’s more to Austria than skiing, snowboarding and adrenalin sports. Take a boat along the not-so-blue Danube, dally in the Vienna woods or head to Salzburg to follow the Sound of Music trail.
Austria's capital city is a veritable Viennese strudel of culture and coffee houses. The city of Strauss is a mix of narrow medieval lanes, chic shopping streets and monumental architecture.
Take in the Baroque blockbuster sights, then simply chill in one of Vienna’s famous coffee houses and polish off a slice of chocolate-y Sachertorte.
