It is here that you will enjoy a wide variety of culturally diverse restaurants, live performances at one of our Landmark theaters, and spending the day shopping the countless array of unique boutiques and galleries.

The cities have plenty to engage visitors. Vienna is the capital, hub of the country's musical life and littered with beautiful buildings. Music, art and architecture reach baroque perfection in Salzburg, Mozart's birthplace. Innsbruck's snow-capped peaks frame its fascinating historic buildings. Factoid Men In Hats Perhaps the most unusual Austrian festival is Perchtenlaufen , held every January in Sazburger Land.
