Home to lavish baroque buildings and the soaring mountains of the Alps, Austria is one of Europe's most popular holiday destinations. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the endless opportunities to hike in the summer and ski in the winter, while foodies can indulge in strudels, schnitzels, and the world-famous coffee culture. Visitors can also take in a performance at one of the country's lavish concert halls, soak in soothing thermal spas, or visit the tranquil vineyards and sample world-class wine. There's no shortage of things to see and do in Austria, but here are the places we think everyone should visit.
