Austria tourism is all about discovering something new each day. There are Austria holiday packages that offer the tried and tested popular tourist destination and then there are unique experiential holidays.
Tourism is an important part of Austria’s economy and it is noted that for every six beds of inhabitants, there is one guest bed. It is one of the rare countries that attracts an equal number of tourists in both, summers and winters, making it an all-year-round travel destination.
The country is dominated by the Alps in its west and south. The highest peak in Austria is the Grossglockner Mountain, at a height of 3,798 metres. You can include various hiking and skiing activities to really enjoy the mountains to the fullest. You can try snowboarding, ski-jumping and even some beginner level mountain skiing in Austria to get your adrenaline pumping.
The rivers create some beautiful landscapes in the country. The major rivers in Austria include the Inn, Salzach, Gali, Drau and the Murz and Mur rivers. You could enjoy a romantic moment by the riverside or let your kids make a splash or explore water sports. Tourism in Austria is incomplete without spending adequate time in its capital, Vienna. Also called the City of Music, it is home to the Museums Quartier that hosts some of the world’s most stunning museums and is one of the largest cultural quarters of the world.
Austria will also treat you with a range of gastronomic culinary delights. Don’t forget to try the famous bakery item Krapfen, which is really a doughnut filled with apricot jam or custard. Whether you’re at a modern brunch café, a Michelin star restaurant or a farmer’s market, you will always find something tempting and exceptionally delicious in Austria!
