Flights to Austria

Located in the heart of the European continent, Austria is a Central European country that was once part of the Roman Empire. In the 17th century, Austria was one of Europe’s great powers, transforming into Austria-Hungary during Napoleon’s time, an empire that also included present-day Hungary. This empire collapsed after World War I, and Austria was annexed by Nazi Germany until the end of World War II. Today, Austria is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, with a high standard of living, and has been a member of the European Union since 1995.

The birthplace of many renowned European figures, such as Mozart and Sigmund Freud, Austria lies in the Alps, with only 12% of its area covered by plains. Thanks to its impressive geography, Austria is one of Europe’s winter sports capitals, offering numerous ski slopes suitable for all visitor categories. Before heading to the mountains, you might consider visiting tourist attractions like Melk Abbey, a monastery dating back to the 10th century and a stunning example of Baroque architecture, Hohensalzburg Castle - one of the best-preserved castles in Europe, Gasteiner Waterfall, Lake Zeller, Ambras Castle, or Salzburg Fortress - Hohensalzburg.

Of course, one of Austria’s most beautiful cities is the capital, Vienna, which hosts landmarks such as the Imperial Hofburg Palace, Schönbrunn Palace, the State Opera, Belvedere Palace, the Aquarium - House of the Oceans, Mozart’s House, and many others. For a relaxing vacation, the thermal waters of Bad Gastein offer an unforgettable experience.

For festival and holiday enthusiasts, Austria hosts events such as the Vienna Jazz Festival, the International Concert Gala by the Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg, the Danube Island Festival in Vienna, the Salzburg Summer Festival, the Bregenz Festival, the Salzburg New Year’s Concert, and many more.
