Austria is one of Europe’s most spectacular destinations and boasts natural wonders, lakes and mountains as well as ornate castles and palaces for visitors to marvel at. Whether you prefer to explore the glittering lakes or the dramatic mountain terrain, historic cities, or the lush mountain hillsides synonymous with the Sound of Music, Austria has something for everyone.
The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is a must for the driving enthusiast, with its 36 hairpin turns. The road ribbons through the mountain pastures, flower meadows, foothills and up into the alpine majesty of the mountains themselves offering awe-inspiring views along the way.
Hitler’s “Eagle Nest” is famous for its magnificent views of the surrounding landscape and as an architectural masterpiece with a sinister past. It was built as an alpine retreat for Adolf Hitler, although he was rarely here. It is now one of the most famous sights in the area to visit.
Salzburg, the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is dominated by churches, castles, and palaces. Its picturesque old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit Mozart’s birthplace on Getreidegasse, where the composer was born and Salzburg’s most attractive shopping street with its high and narrow houses and romantic courtyards. Red Bull Hangar 7 is located just a short drive from Salzburg, featuring a changing collection of the Flying Bulls’ airplanes, assortment of Formula 1 cars and racing motorcycles.
