Austria Vacation Packages: European Charm
Austria blends the best of old-world charm, cosmopolitan city life, and breathtaking Alpine landscapes. Austria vacation packages can take you wandering the old town of Salzburg or tracing the footsteps of Mozart. Step onto the living set of the Sound of Music. Vienna’s Baroque and Rococo architecture rings with classical music. Feel the spirit of Klimt, Mozart, Freud, and Mahler in the city’s cafés. Beyond Vienna, journey to the Danube Valley, and visit Austria’s national parks for alpine hiking. In the winter, the mountain resorts come alive.
