Overview

Austria is a country with a long history at the heart of Europe. The cities of Vienna and Salzburg are both culturally and historically important, and are blessed with a richness of architecture that draws in millions of visitors each year. For those who prefer the countryside, Austria is dominated by mountains, with the Austrian Alps making up 62% of the nations total area, with the foothills of the Alps and the Carpathians accounting for another 12%. Little wonder then that the national sport is alpine skiing.
