Austria
Visit Austria and get lost in its picture-perfect landscapes, time-honoured traditions and fascinating historic tales. Home to incredible creative talent, from artist Gustav Klimt to director of the 1920s masterpiece ‘Metropolis’ Fritz Lang, this is a destination that will enchant any culture lover. A memorable place to visit all year round, Austria is also a stone’s throw from Oberammergau in Germany, which is renowned for its legendary Passion Play performance, taking place just once every ten years. Back over the border, take a scenic ride aboard the Zillertal Steam Railway, see sites made famous by ‘The Sound of Music’ and discover Mozart’s birth-town of Salzburg.
