A Short Guide to Austria
The European nation of Austria is landlocked, running from the Alps located in the west to Vienna to the Danube River located in the east. This country landmass, for six centuries, occupied the areas of now Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland and was considered to be the heart of the powerful Hapsburg Empire. The country also took up most of the land from the Balkans, Bulgaria and Romania.
Capital city Vienna is thoroughly enriched with Baroque culture with dazzling palaces, eye-catching churches, comfy coffeehouses and inns. It’s also got majestic ballrooms where dancers enjoy Strauss waltzes. No doubt, Vienna shows off Austria’s royal splendor to visitors curious about this nation.
Composer Mozart was born in the city of Salzburg. Here, the city is enriched with more Baroque culture seen especially in the churches. Salzburg sits against the Austrian Alps, which stretch westward toward Switzerland. During the wintertime, skiers from all over the world will churn the slops and experience the wonders of the alpine communities and its inhabitants.
While Austria’s charm lies mostly in the protection of its romantic classical past, it still has a modern touch that’s still developing. There’s still a vivacious commercial and industrial society that does business in Austria’s cities and towns amid the beautiful scenery and quaint architecture. The people of Austria both work and play hard, making sure visitors get a taste of fantastic cuisine and feel genuinely welcomed. There’s hardly time to sit down in Austria as visitors can cruise along the Danube River, do a cycle tour in the Alpine meadows or take in the spectacular, awe-amazing Vienna sights.
