Austria is not only a breeding ground for European talent (think Freud and Mozart!) it’s also a country generously endowed by Mother Nature. Located on the eastern flank of the Alps and on the banks of the Danube, this small state of eight million inhabitants attracts crowds of tourists with very different goals annually: the more athletic ones particularly appreciate its winter sports resorts, while the culture lovers rush to the latest exhibitions in Vienna. On this page, we take you from the Viennese palaces of Schönbrunn and Hofburg to the Bohemian Forest and the Traunsee lake in the north of the country, via the beautiful city of Salzburg (for which we offer you a guidebook).
