Austria

austria


Landlocked giant mountains, green valleys, and lakes in Central Europe make Austria the most forested country in Europe for you to spend a year or semester.

Slightly smaller than Maine, the famous Alps cover much of the west and south of Austria while flatlands dominate the east and northeast. If you love the outdoors, you will enjoy a Spaziergang (a long leisurely walk) - a favorite Austrian pastime. Mountain climbing, hiking, skiing, cycling, and boating are very popular activities with most families.

Enjoy the remarkable natural beauty of Austria and its rich music history which will accompany you with the world-known melodies of Mozart and Strauss. Vienna Imperial Orchestra will invite you to its unique atmosphere of classicism and amazing architecture in Vienna, the world's music capital.

Travel to Austria and you will experience amazing landscapes, follow the scent of freshly brewed coffee, and listen to the wonderful concerts in Vienna!
