The perfect blend of history-soaked cities and dazzling natural beauty, for centuries Austria blossomed under the hand of the Habsburg Royal Family whose touch can still be felt across the country from its striking architecture to its age-old traditions. Holidays to Austria combine city sightseeing, small town stopover and natural outings for a truly memorable trip.
Its cities are something special. Vienna is famous the world over for its culture, cuisine and history. Top sights include the Hofburg, a proud remnant of Austria’s imperial past. Once the residence of the royal line, it’s now used by the President and parts are open to the public. Historic Salzburg has a rich heritage as an early centre of Christianity in Europe, with the stunning Benedictine Abbey of St. Peter well worth a visit. And while you’re here, you have to take time to pay tribute to Austria’s incredible contributions to world music. The birthplace of Mozart himself is a top attraction and now a museum that welcomes visitors from around the world.
Austria also has some of the most beautiful little towns you’ll ever see. Hallstatt is something truly special, a jumble of charming buildings nestled into the green mountainside. Venture to the top of the 5 Finger viewing platform for spectacular views of the Alps.
