The Federal Republic of Austria is one of those culturally dominating European countries with a rich past that provides an incredibly rich experience for the tourist.

During the Habsburg rule, Austria was the matrix of European culture and the country gave birth to many famous Europeans such as Mozart, Strauss and others who have reshaped the cultural appeal of Europe.

Austria is a landlocked country but is far away from being completely “dry”. Its numerous lakes offer opportunities for water tourism, and the country is also famous for its mountain range, the Alps.
