Map Come and discover Austria, a small country landlocked inside central Europe by eight others and quite often forgotten about… until now. Its natural beauty puts its rival neighbours to shame from rolling landscapes and lakes to the dramatic slopes of the alps. Not to mention its fascinating history which can be explored through the impressive monuments and landmarks dotted around every city.
The intricacies of Austria’s backstory started with the House of Hasburg, the country’s equivalent to the Royal Family. This royal dynasty started in the 11th century and arguably the most noble house in Europe at the time. In 1867 the Austro-Hungarian Empire was created dominating almost all of east-central Europe and ended at the end of World War One, however many of the monuments and landmarks were created around this time.
With such a complex history and culture, Austria is a delectable melting pot for foodies, art lovers, city explorers, nature buffs or those who love to keep active. Whether it’s tucking into the famous apfelsorudel (or apple strudel to us), watching a training session with the Lipizzaner horses at the Spanish Riding School, hiking through the countryside in the summer, or skiing in the winter, there really is something for everyone to enjoy in this incredibly underrated country.

If you love classical music, Austria is world famous for its notable names including Franz Liszt, Mozart, Strauss and more. Today, the country is still renowned for its fabulous classical concerts, so be sure to take a look at what shows are on before you travel.

In a Nutshell
Tastes to try:
Soak up the culture:
Adventure awaits:
- Austria’s traditional food scene has been taken from its neighbouring countries during the time of imperial Austria and also had influences pulled from the former Austro-Hungarian empire. When travelling throughout, you will find both Austrian and Viennese delicacies, and whilst similar, it’s important not to confuse the two. Either way, the national dish and certainly the most iconic is the Schnitzel, a slice of tendered meat battered and fried and served with chips, with the Viennese commonly using veal ribs.
- In Austria, getting a coffee is more than just a morning routine, in fact, the Viennese coffee culture has been considered an intangible heritage of humanity by UNESCO. The most popular coffee to get your hands on is Eispänner, a double espresso served with a large helping of whipped cream on top and covered in powdered sugar and cocoa powder. If you like a caffeine hit, an experience in one of the coffee houses is not to be missed.
Soak up the culture:
- Austria is home to hundreds of historical monuments and landmarks, with arguably the most iconic being Schönbrunn Palace. This was the summer residence of the Habsburg rulers located just outside of Vienna, with the remains of the buildings that previously stood before it dating back to the 14th century. Now tourists can enjoy walking around the impressive grounds discovering some of Austria’s most pivotal history.
- Austria has many traditions and cultures that have been recognised by UNESCO as an intangible heritage of humanity, and one of these is Schemenlaufen, The Carnival of Imst. This event happens every four years and is celebrated on the Sunday before Lent. The inhabitants of the city of Imst will dress in costumes normally made by the women of the community and some play key roles in a parade which include dancing performances and wearing bells made by local blacksmiths.
Adventure awaits:
- Due to its location, Austria makes for the ultimate ski holiday with picturesque villages, tree-lined pistes and the best lift system in the world. A tourist hotspot for skiing is Tyrol, with its capital Innsbruck being one of the largest cities in the alps, it’s the gateway to the slopes with its surrounding mountains reaching over 200 meters.
- The picturesque village of Hallstatt is very remote with breath taking views of the lake and mountains, but this quaint location is in fact renowned for its production of salt. Here you can enjoy a visit to Saltz Welten, the famous salt caves where you can learn about how it was made and go into the grottoes on a fully immersive tour. And if you are looking to admire the scenery, the Hallstatt Skywalk offers endless views of mountains, clouds, and Lake Hallstatt.
