I consider Austria to be possibly the best country in Europe to travel to if you only have time for a short and not too expensive stay. The food is great and filling. The scenery is stunning. It is easy to travel around in, with great railway and bus connections. The artscene is among the best that Europe has to offer. It probably has more spectacular castles per square kilometer than any other country in the world. Even better unlike its mountainous neighbor Switzerland, it is not out of this world expensive. So if you have only a couple of weeks to tour a country in Europe then give Austria a try.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Spectacular castles and countryside, great hiking.
  • Cons:Indifferent food service. Sleepy nightlife.
  • In a nutshell:Europe's Little Jewel
  • Last visit to Austria: Oct 1993

    I cannot believe that you know so much about all those places... How have you documented your trip? Have you considered writing a book about your trip in Austria? If you will do it... I am waiting for one volume with your autograph on it :)

    Gee, such a collection of castles! Yes, I can understand your feelings of "museum overload" - though I'd be happy to visit the first half dozen.... Must go there some day.

    Fine tips and travelogues on Austria! I did a Danube tour by kayak once, and saw some of those places. Hope to have at least a short trip to Austria again this summer.
