Austria may be a small country, but don’t overlook it when you are considering holiday destinations in Europe. It is one of the most fascinating and historic countries in Western Europe, with a plethora of cultural and historic highlights which drive millions of people to visit every year. From grand castles to picturesque villages, there is something in Austria for everyone. It makes a great year-round destination, too: while skiing and snowsports are a major attraction in winter, Vienna (the beautiful capital) and other centres have plenty of other attractions to enjoy in spring, summer and autumn.
