The Place

Many Europe vacations miss out on Austria. But the country, known for its contribution to classical music - Austria is the birthplace of Mozart and still one of the best places to experience Opera - is also a great place to ski, hike, wine taste and grab a cup of coffee and a pastry. It's the only place to witness the Imperial Palace in Vienna. A fine escape for any holiday--there’s plenty to do in and around the lakes and mountains that span Austria.
