It’s time to start planning your summer vacation now. The passport with a Schengen visa, about couple of hours by plane – and you are in Vienna. What’s interesting there? There are at least five reasons to spend your next vacation in Austria.
1. Mountain tourism
The ski resorts are good even in summer. Walk along the alpine paths, climb to the glacier, go for a walk on horseback, sleep in a mountain hut and relax in the thermal mountain complex. It is an excellent opportunity for those who want to escape from everyday routine life and get positive impressions.
2. Shopping
It is not necessary to go to Paris or Milan to buy fashionable clothes. You can buy designer clothes at quite reasonable prices in Vienna or Salzburg, if you know where to buy it. And do not forget about souvenirs: in Austria there is something better than usual magnets and postcards to buy for your friends and relatives. For example, you can buy gifts for your beloved ones right at the Viennese airport before your flight back home.
3. Tasty food
Austrian cuisine will surprise even sophisticated gourmets. Have you ever tried shinkenfleerln or punshkapfen? If not, you must definitely do it here in Austria. It will be tasty in the capital’s restaurant, as well as in the alpine hut lost in the mountains, and at the Vienna-Schwechat airport cafe.
4. Rich cultural heritage
Austria is rich in sights that attract tourists from all over the world. Take a walk to the historic center of Salzburg, go to the castle of Hochosterwitz and be sure to visit the arsenal museum in Graz. From Vienna you can get to Salzburg and Graz by train, the journey will take about two hours.
5. Lakes and beaches
Clean and warm lakes surrounded by mountain peaks, fresh air and complete tranquility are an ideal option for those who dream of not having to worry about their daily business and routine life. Relax on the beach, swim, go fishing, water ski, boating and yachts – enough entertainment for the whole family.
We hope that now Austria will appear in your traveling wish-list for the coming summer! Have a nice trip and enjoy yourselves!
