Austria

Austria really looks like those beautiful post cards, with high snow-capped summits, crystal-clear lakes, dark forests, vast green plains, rolling hills, fortresses from the Middle Ages and fairytale castles. The Alps occupy two-thirds of the territory in this mountainous country, making it a particularly prized destination in winter. In summer, nature-lovers like to explore the cold lakes, go mountain biking, hike around Lake Constanceor tour the superb WachauValley.Towns such as Graz, Salzburgand Innsbruckhave baroque city centres that combine a rich artistic heritage with a well-preserved lifestyle in which coffee and pastries still play a very important role.
