The Alps, the Danube Valley, and the steppes of the Pannonian plain give Austria an immensely diverse and breath-taking landscape. The nine distinct provinces of Austria are proud of their diversity that stretches from the elegance of Vienna in the north, to the Italian influenced warmth of the Carinthian mountains in the south. Historical treasures from many centuries stand facing modern art and architecture in cities and picturesque towns, making the country the cultural heart of Europe. The welcoming warmth and gracious hospitality of the Austrians and the country’s intriguing cuisine make it a much sought-after holiday destination.
