Culture, music and mountains
Mozart Statue, Salzburg
Before visiting Austria for the first
time, most people have a vision
of snow-capped peaks, tumbling
cataracts, tilted mountain meadows,
gingerbread chalets and pretty
onion-domed churches. All these
exist in abundance, but Austria is
much more than alpine vistas and
appealing hillside villages. The
country, stretching some 700
kilometres from the Swiss border
on the shores of the Bodensee
in the west to the edge of the
flat Hungarian plain in the east,
encompasses rolling hills, broad
valleys, wide rivers, fertile farmland,
delightful cities, magnificent
Baroque architecture, as well as
some of Europe’s most spectacular
alpine scenery.
visitors can enjoy today. The generous patronage offered by the
Habsburgs attracted European composers in the 18th and 19th centuries
– Beethoven, Brahms, Hayden, Mozart, Schubert and the Strausses all
came to Austria at some stage in their careers. Today, this rich musical
heritage lives on in the form of the Vienna Philharmonic, the unrivalled
Vienna Boys’ Choir, the Musikverein and the Konzerthaus.
Whilst the Alps with their dramatic scenery, fine resorts and opportunities
for outdoor activities from skiing and snowboarding to hiking and climbing
Christmas Market, Vienna
In the past the country wielded authority and influence far beyond its
physical size. The Habsburg dynasty – rulers of Austria for over 600 years,
built the Austro-Hungarian Empire into a formidable world power and at
the time were the most dominant force in Europe. Such wealth led to a
flowering of music, literature and architecture, a cultural inheritance that

remain the main attraction for most visitors, Austria’s cities reward
exploration. Vienna, the capital, as the seat of the Habsburgs, is built on
a suitably imperial scale - there are palaces, art collections, museums
and splendid 19th century architecture lining broad tree-shaded avenues.
Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart, is an intoxicatingly Baroque city whose
skyline is punctuated with countless ornate spires, domes, belfries and
turrets. Further west, Innsbruck, situated in the valley of the River Inn at
the intersection of several Alpine passes, harbours a precious collection
of mediaeval buildings where the upper storeys of the houses almost
meet above the narrow streets.
Friendly people complement the spectacular scenery, excellent food, welldeveloped resorts and high standards of services and facilities. Wherever
you stay you will experience ‘Gemütlichkeit’, an Austrian term meaning a
combination of hospitality, contentment and cosiness.

why Salzburg has often been called “the Rome of North” for its
outstanding beauty.
