Austria is a country of breathtaking alpine landscapes and cities steeped in history. In the capital city of Vienna, don’t miss the stunning Schönbrunn Palace, the world-famous Vienna State Opera, and the iconic St. Stephen’s Cathedral—but there’s so much more beyond the capital.

Salzburg, Mozart’s birthplace, is a wonderfully picturesque old town along the Sazach River, home to the Hohensalzburg Fortress. In Innsbruck, the Alps create the perfect backdrop for skiing and outdoor adventures, while Hallstatt, a fairytale laketown, is often ranked as one of the most beautiful villages in the world. Austria is also known for its magical Christmas markets, which transform the country into a true winter wonderland each year.
