Austria

Austria may be the winter sports capital of Europe, however, it is just as popular for summer tourists who visit its historic cities and villages and hike in the magnificent scenery of the Alps.

The mountain scenery is breath-taking, but there are the omnipresent fingerprints of the old empire in Vienna, and home-grown musical icons Mozart, Schubert and Strauss are championed everywhere, but this small country has a few surprises up its sleeve in the form of contemporary art, cutting-edge architecture and innovative cuisine.
