Thinking of availing Austria coach holidays? The country has a rich history, and is filled with beautiful places. So many activities are distinct to just Austria, which is regarded as Europe’s capital of winter sports. But that doesn’t mean that it gets any less popular in the summers.
Austrian villages have tales to share and the magnificent Alps offer several winding paths for hiking. Of all the attractions, which ones are a must? Here are the top most things to do in Austria.
Schönbrunn Palace
Among the most popular attractions in Europe, Schönbrunn Palace houses 1441 rooms. It was built between the years 1696 and 1712 upon Emperor Leopold I’s request. The Palace Park is filled with attractions including the marble summerhouse perched on a hill that is 60 metres in height, the Privy Garden, the world’s oldest zoo and the maze.
Hallstatt
Hallstatt is a small village which is famous locally because it produces salt and a history of prestige and wealth. The salt industry helped the residents become wealthy, and ultimately, the village transformed into a glamorous palace. Do visit the subterranean salt lake, which is among the most unique places in the country.
The Vienna Hofburg
Famous as Austria’s Imperial Place, this structure was the historic seat of the monarchs, Habsburgs. Today, state businesses are conducted in the same rooms that belonged to the emperors once upon a time.
Almost ever ruler in the country ordered alterations and additions, so you’d witness several influences at the castle including Baroque, Renaissance and Gothic.
Kitzbüheler Horn
One of the most stunning summits in the country that you can reach either through cableway or a climb up the trek from the Kitzbühel village. The views from the 1772 meter high peak are indeed breathtaking.
