Essentials in Austria

Medieval and Baroque Austria: Austria was once a great power in Europe and has the palaces, castles and cathedrals to prove it. Schönbrunn Palace is home to an impressive 1441 rooms and is spectacular in every way. The palace zoo, Tiergarten Schönbrunn is the oldest zoo in the world.

Innsbruck: For winter sports, Innsbruck is the best destination. It has hosted the winter Olympic Games twice and is at the heart of Tyrol. From here, it's a quick trip up to the mountains for some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the world.

Salzburg: For culture, Salzburg certainly delivers. It's the birth city of the famous and great Mozart and has a gorgeously preserved town centre. Set in a valley with the mountains as backdrop, the city is a stunner.
