Austria

Travelling through Austria it is impossible to miss the elegance of the landscape. Over half of the country is mountainous terrain and the sections in between are awash with rivers, lakes and grand mansions. Some of the best ways to see Austria are holiday tours by train that cover the country's natural sights as well as the cultural centres of SalzburgInnsbruck and Vienna. Famed for the opera house, Vienna sparkles through the winter in the lights of the famous Christkindlmarkt, and in the summer the parks blossom with live performances of the music of Strauss. For the culturally minded, a rural Austrian holiday with tours of the cities is an experience to savour.
