Spotlight Destination

Austria dazzles with a blend of imperial charm, alpine adventure, and cultural riches. Vienna, the country’s capital, brims with architectural grandeur—don’t miss the Schönbrunn Palace or the striking St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Art lovers should set aside time for the Belvedere Museum and the Museums Quartier, while coffeehouse culture invites lingering over pastries like sachertorte. West of the capital lies Salzburg, the baroque birthplace of Mozart and home to the hilltop Hohensalzburg Fortress.
