Austria has so much to offer the visitor and those who choose to make it their home...

So whatever you are looking for in a holiday or in a country in which to buy a new home, be it mountains, a host of outdoor activities, lakes, vineyards, castles, spa’s, charming villages, great cities of culture such as Vienna, Salzburg and Graz, or merely the simple pleasures of life such as fine food and wine, locally brewed beer, peace and fresh clean air, Austria has it all.

The authors of the ‘lonely planet’ guide to Austria believe that here in Austria you can...

“…experience possibly the best combination of nature and culture on the planet.”

The people of Austria are very friendly and welcoming

Most people that you will come across in Austria speak either quite good or very good English which makes life easier if your German is less than perfect or even non-existent.

Austria is wonderfully clean and environmentally friendly

As a nation, the Austrians are understandably very proud of their country and it shows, you will not find litter or graffiti here.

Austria is a world leader in recycling and in protecting the environment and they are justifiably proud of the fact that all their lakes and rivers are pure enough to drink! When was the last time you swam in drinking water? This is the proud boast of the Austrian tourist board when talking about the country’s thermal swimming lakes, which are extremely popular places to visit in the summer months.

We would urge you to explore this incredible country as much as you can

There are so many really beautiful parts of Austria that are not on the Holiday Companies ‘tourist trail’ and you are sure to be rewarded for making the effort to travel at least a little way off the beaten track.

Austria is very visitor friendly and with a variety of cheap flights available, very accessible. If you choose to make your discoveries by car or by rail and bus you will be delighted by the quality of roads and services and by the wonderful scenery that is all around. Enjoy!!!
