Incredible Austria

Austria is one of the most visited countries in Europe and around the world. After all, it attracts antiquity lovers, nature lovers and fans of health tourism. An important factor in the tourist attractiveness of Austria is a huge number of cultural events – festivals, exhibitions and other events. Therefore it is not surprising that the income from tourism is a significant part in the overall structure of the budget revenues of the country and almost every Austrian city. After all, Austria is remarkable in that each city has something interesting and impressive to offer to travellers.

Vienna

The capital of Austria – not only one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, but it also claims to be one of the oldest cities not only in Europe but also in the world. Indeed, according to archaeologists, the first settlements on the territory where the Austrian capital is now located, appeared about 25 thousand years ago. And since then people have lived permanently on this territory.

The major sights of Vienna that just cannot be ignored during a visit to the city include the Belvedere palace complex, the Vienna Opera House, the Hofburg Palace, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, and the Burgtheater.

Salzburg

This city where the genius Mozart was born and lived the first 18 years of his life is called the “European Music Capital”. Salzburg is home to a number of music festivals and cultural events. The city is also famous for its historic and architectural landmarks, the most important of which are the Mirabel Palace, the Helbrunn Palace complex and park, and the Cathedral.

Innsbruck

This Austrian city is of course known to sports fans as the site of three Olympics. But Innsbruck is also a city of very interesting architecture and unique monuments. The places worth seeing first and foremost are the Golden Roof, St. Jacob’s Cathedral, and the Hofburg.

Natural attractions in Austria

Of course the Alpine country of Austria attracts tourists not only with its many attractions and rich cultural life. Many travelers visit the country for its natural beauty. Especially Austrian lakes – Green Lake and Werther See – attract many tourists. Both are beautiful in their own way. The water in the Green Lake has a unique emerald tint due to the peculiar aquatic vegetation growing in this water body. Woerther See is one of the ‘meccas’ of summer holidays for introverts. It is a holiday destination for those who are looking for a pleasant escape from the hustle and bustle of the big cities.

Of course one of the main natural attractions is the Austrian Alps. It is a seasonal destination for skiing enthusiasts and many other travellers, for whom “there is nothing like the mountains”.
