Popular Destinations in Austria

• Vienna

  This grand imperial city, once the seat of the Hapsburg power, showcases its Baroque splendor in style. The home of Beethoven and Mozart, Vienna oozes with classical strains while serving gourmet cakes and coffees in the café-lined streets. The capital of Austria is not just for majestic tastes, though: modern amusements await at the Ferris Wheel, the Schonbrunn Palace, the dancing Lippizaner stallions, and the underground cafes.

• Salzburg

  Nestled among stunning mountain landscapes, Salzburg is an homage to both Baroque architecture and Mozart. Its old town is a feast of church spires, cobbled streets, palaces, and concert halls, all vying to bring the music of Mozart to life. Visitors hum along as they down beer, much on chocolate bars, and enjoy the numerous festivals Salzburg has every year.
