Austria is a landlocked country located
in the Central Europe bordered by Czech Republic, Slovakia,
Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy, and Switzerland.
The country was a center of power in Europe at the time
when it was ruled by the mighty Habsburgs.
Although
today it is relegated tobeing a minor player in the
European Union, Austria offers some of the most impressive
destinations on the Continent.
Austria is thronged by tourists round the year. Summer
is the ideal time for sightseeing while in winter the
slopes of the Alps offer ample opportunities for skiing.
The Arlberg region, especially St. Anton, has some of
the best skiing resorts in Austria.
Travel Destinations of Austria
Vienna
The capital of Austria, Vienna, was
once the citadel of Habsburgs who ruled the country
for over 600 years. The city is an architectural gem
and a center of music from the medieval times. The Hofburg
(Imperial Palace) and the adjoining Augustinian Church
are two of the marvels of architecture. Other notable
sights in Vienna include the Museum of Fine Arts, Belvedere
Palace, and the Sigmund Freud Museum. {Salzburg}, the
city that gave Mozart to the world, is a picturesque
abode surrounded by tall mountains. Your tour of {Salzburg}
is incomplete without a visit to the 11th-century Hohensalzburg
Castle, the Museum of Fine Arts, and St. Peter's Abbey.
Four kilometres to the south of {Salzburg} is the interesting
Hellbrunn Palace whose grounds contain trick fountains
and water-powered figures.
Salzburg
There is a story that when Salzburg
was liberated at the end of World War II by the Rainbow
Division of the Allied Forces, its commander, Harry
J. Collins, was so captivated by the extraordinary sight
of the city and its Alpine surroundings that he asked
to be buried there upon his death. His wish was fulfilled
in 1966, when he was given a grave of honour in St.
Peter's Cemetery. Apart from its architectural and scenic
beauty, Salzburg is also famous for its greatest son,
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the greatest musician of the
18th century.
Salzburg is capital of the province by the same name
and also the fourth largest city of Austria. Located
on the both sides of river Salzach, the city is situated
near the Southern Germany border in Central Austria.
With a history of more than 2,000 years, Salzburg prides
on its great heritage and role in the future of modern
Europe.
Salzburg was not the original name of the city. Before
this, it was named as Iuvavum, an administrative centre
during the Roman times. Salzburg literally means Salt
Castle. This was because of the large deposits of the
salt and mineral ores in the surrounding area of Salzburg.
The city today is a major tourist destination and the
site of the famed Salzburg Festival.
