Under the rule of the powerful Habsburg dynasty, Austria played an major political role in Europe. Today, although the country has a more modest place within the European community, it preserves the traces of its glorious past, to which the impressive architecture that you can admire in Vienna and other Austrian cities and towns bears witness.

Austria also enjoys natural open spaces which will easily satisfy lovers of mountains and winter sports. On the other hand, lovers of fine arts will be able to take great delight in the beautiful sounds of Europe’s most celebrated classical music, perhaps the most beautiful part of Austrian heritage.
