So you’ve decided to visit Austria. Great choice! What words does Austria conjure up for you. Waltzing? Mozart? The Sound of Music? Mountains?
Music is certainly high on my list. As a lifelong devotee of classical music (I’ve played piano since I was five!), I always enjoy visiting Vienna and Salzburg. Touring composers’ houses, attending concerts, and exploring places like Vienna’s wonderful House of Music never fails to delight.
Museum lovers will swoon in Vienna, home to some of the largest and most varied museums in Europe, while traveling west reveals dramatic mountain landscapes around Salzburg and Innsbruck.
This Austria destination hub on Artsy Traveler brings together travel posts and guides focused on cities, museums, music, history, and landscapes across Austria, helping you plan your own meaningful travel experiences.
