Austria
Austria is epitomized by green glacial valleys and snow-capped peaks - and the wooden picture postcard chalets. Nonetheless, visitors have much to explore from the stylish capital, Vienna, to the baroque splendor of Salzburg. Austria's mountain landscape is undoubtedly its biggest draw for tourists. Although a year-round destination, there is a definite seasonal split in visitors. Summer is best for exploring the countryside on the many mountain trails that snake through the Austrian Alps and the lowlands, while the ski season kicks off in December, attracting winter sports fans from all over the world.
Germany
Germany's landscape is straight from the Fairy tales: castles, deep dark forests and mythical rivers. The German landscapes are extraordinarily diverse, with graceful big-city appeal, small picture-postcard towns, pagan-inspired harvest festivals, a wealth of art and culture, and the perennial pleasures of huge tracts of forest, delightful castles and fine wine and beer. From Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire to the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall, no other nation has molded Europe the way Germany has - for better or worse.

Vienna
City of music, cafes, waltzes, parks, pastries, and wine - that's Vienna in a nutshell. Vienna doesn't hurry, and, as you saunter through its stately streets, marveling at its Baroque palaces, neither should you. Explore churches filled with statues of golden saints and pink-cheeked cherubs, wander through treasure-packed museums, or while away an afternoon in one of those countless meccas of mocha (the inevitable cafés), you will feel lapped in lashings of rich, delicious, whipped cream - the beloved Schlagobers that garnishes most Viennese pastries.
Explore The Hofburg Palace, Schonbrunn Palace, Staatsoper, Kunsthistorisches Museum, the MuseumsQuartier Complex, St. Stephan's Cathedral, the Belvedere Palace, The Ringstrasse, Parliament, The Prater and so much more! -
Linz
Linz, the capital of Upper Austria, lies in an attractive location on both banks of the River Danube. Famous for its many fine churches, museums, and cultural activities, the city permeates a quaint-yet-happening vibe. Linz has been named a European Capital of Culture and is now home to a vibrant music and arts scene. Between the Lentos Art Museum and the 'Brucknerhaus', is the 'Donaulande', which is also referred to as Kulturmeile' (culture mile). This is a park alongside the river, where the Ars Electronica Festival and the 'Linz Fest' take place.
Explore the Old Town (Hauptplatz and Landstrasse), Schlossmuseum Linz, The St. Martin's Church, Ars Electronica Center, OO Kulturquartier district, Lentos Art Museum, the New and Old Cathedral's, St. Florian Augustinian Abbey, The Danube River, The Postlingberg, and so much more! -
Salzburg
Art lovers call Salzburg the Golden City of High Baroque; historians refer to it as the Florence of the North, or the German Rome; and music lovers know it as the Festival City - birthplace of Mozart and home of the world famous Mozart Festival. Several beautiful castles and palaces dot the city. While Salzburg is a visual pageant of Baroque motifs, music is the element that shapes the life of the city. It is heard everywhere: in churches, castles, palaces, and of course, concert halls.
Visit Festung Hohensalzburg, Residenzplatz, Mirabell Palace, St Peter's Abbey, Salzburg Cathedral, Mozart's Birthplace, Old Town, St. Sebastian's Church and Cemetery, Schloss Mirabell and Gardens, and so much more! -
Innsbruck
Innsbruck is one of Europe's oldest and most beautiful ski centers. Nestled in the Tyrolean Alps, the area has some 200 trails covering 310 miles and is perfect for beginner and intermediate-level skiers. It is a winter sports center with modern facilities. Non-skiers and summer visitors can enjoy the sights of the medieval Old Town, the shops with Tyrolean specialties, and the many other outdoor activities that Tyrol offers. Culture seekers will be happy with world-class opera, gorgeous architecture, and superb museums.
Explore the Old Town, The Hofkirche and the Emperor's Tomb, The Golden Roof, The Hofburg, The Cathedral of St James, The Nordkettenbahnen, the Tyrolean State Museums, The Hofburg District, The River Inn, The Alpine Zoo, The Ambras Palace and so much more! -
Munich
Big city style and rural charm, Alpine character and Mediterranean verve, art treasures and the Oktoberfest, traditional customs and high technology, beer gardens and haute cuisine, operas and cool bars; these are all ingredients that makes Bavaria's state capital so endlessly fascinating, and so popular with visitors from all over the world. Sprawling Munich is one of Germany's major cultural centers, second only to Berlin in terms of museums and theaters. It's also one of Germany's most festive cities, and its location, at the foot of the Alps, is idyllic. Munich's self-imposed image is that of a fun-loving and festival-addicted city - typified by its Oktoberfest.
