Austria Tourist Information and Visitor Guide

Explore this wonderful country of elegant cities and magnificent ski resorts. It is a land of music and dancing, cheese and cider. Alpine passes plunge into verdant valleys as the mighty River Danube meanders through the lowlands. There are some spectacular castles, fabulous palaces and impeccably groomed gardens in the towns, cities and villages of Austria.

The Austrian Regions

• Central Austria - the regional capital of Salzburg is one of the prettiest cities in Europe with a long tradition in music and the arts, in complete contrast to the modern, cutting-edge city of Linz. With fabulous lakeside cities like Klagenfurt and Bad Gastein, a marvellous spa resort, Central Austria will surprise and delight
  
  
• East Austria and Vienne - dominated by the refined city of Vienna which can rival all the major world capitals, this part of Austria offers everything from fabulous vineyards in Styria to delightful medieval cities on the Danube such as Krems
  
  
• West Austria - here you will find the breathtaking Tyrol area where the mountain peaks seem to touch the sky. There are so many ski resorts it's difficult to pick out one, but Kitzbuhel must be high on anybody's list. For its energy and verve, Innsbruck is a great place to visit and a great base for exploring too
