TRAVELLING IN AUSTRIA

Austria has long been an
immensely popular spot with
the British holiday maker
-in Summer when the coach
tours flock there and in
winter when hordes of UK
skiers descend upon it.

The geography of Austria
is diverse in that there is
a great contrast between
the Alpine regions and the
flat plains that stretch
eastwards past Vienna, the
capital to the Hungarian
border.

Walking holidays in the
Austrian Tyrol in summer are
a delight.In winter the
famous resorts of Kitzbuhel,
Mayerhofen,Seefeld,Soll and
many others offer some of the
finest ski-ing in the world.
You can even ski in summer
in such places as Hinterglim.
(Summer glacial ski-ing)

VIENNA is a great city for a
two or three day city break,
but like the rest of Austria
it can be expensive.The art and
architecture of Vienna is one
of the great treasures of Europe
and places like the Schonebraun
Palace in Vienna are a must to
visit.
