Austria information

Located in central Europe, Austria is landlocked borders with the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy and Switzerland. There was one center of power in Europe, at a time when it was under the domination of powerful Hapsburgs. Although today it is being given to a minor player in the European Union, Austria offers some of the most spectacular destination in the continent.

In the capital Vienna, was the citadel of the Habsburgs, who ruled the country for over 600 years. The city is an architectural gem, a center of music from the Middle Ages. The Hofburg (Imperial Palace), as well as the adjoining Augustinian Church are two of the wonders of architecture. Other interesting sights in Vienna include the Museum of Fine Arts, Belvedere Palace and the Museum of Sigmund Freud.

In the southern city of Graz with its UNESCO World Heritage Old Town, the largest in Central Europe, has a very relaxed and Mediterranean flair.
